According to Apple, the operating system which runs Apple's line of Mac desktops and computers laptops is designed for easy, seamless networking and portability between the Apple products.

It allows users to interact with all the applications via iPhone, iPad, and other Apple devices. The software shows and displays icons for every application on the screen of the iPhone in different figures. Additionally, IOS manages battery power and system security.
