In addition to Apple's focus on making its devices easy to use, it also seeks to choose unique designations and terms for everything it offers, and these terms become trademarks and intellectual property of their own, and as soon as you hear them, you know specifically that this product is for Apple. In our article today, we review the most important names and terms for Apple and the meaning of each term in short.
◉ iOS
This is the name of the iPhone operating system. It was previously known as iPhone OS when Apple introduced the first iPhone in 2007, and it became iOS with the release of the iPhone 3G.

◉ Personal Hotspot
Another term for Apple in which it only added the common name. The word HotSpot is known in all devices, but Apple has added the term Personal next to it to make it known and distinctive for its "personal hotspot". Of course, the matter has not changed by being able to share the Internet with other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB.

Perhaps this is the most well-known terminology that Apple has taken in small and large. Certainly, we will see some terms in upcoming updates added to Apple's dictionary.
Are there any Apple filter terms that we didn't mention? Tell us about it in the comments

Apple's system was named Framware, not iPhone OS
Since the article talks about Apple's own designations, I hoped that the article would include talking about the letter i
-
Apple is interested in this letter and considers it a distinction for its products such as iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac, iBook, iTunes,
-
Maybe in the future we will see iCar, iGlass, iVR, iBicycle, and so on until Apple fans turn to iHuman.
👍🏻
Peace be upon you ,
The letter i was launched with the iPhone for the first time and it symbolized the first letter of the internet, meaning that the device is connected to the Internet (so that the iPhone or a phone that connects to the Internet)
Apple has taken a pattern in many of its devices ... but don't worry about new products 🤗
For example apple watch was not called iwatch .. it is possible to see
apple car / apple vr / apple human
Similar to apple park and apple watch
😉
With greetings and appreciation
Ha ha ha ha ha sweet iHuman
You forgot to say the old name iCloud
From this rostrum, I would love to congratulate myself and on behalf of the rest of the Androids that Yvonne Islam wrote a long, broad article without evasion and without interfering with Google, Android and Samsung and insulting them and insulting their users. Frankly, raise the hat for such an achievement.
Thank you dear brother, it is a great effort to ignore Android and we hope to continue :)
By the way, have you seen sync on Android, the truth is better than iOS version
Bombing the front Director of the Blog 👍👍👍
Fooled of you, director 😂😂😂😂
An article to get to know Apple Honestly, everything related to Apple is great
Thank you, iPhone Islam, for the valuable information Apple is an undisputed giant, Apple's protective masterpieces
As well as the term Retina for the type of screen used by most Apple devices.
This is normal, and every company has its own names that it uses for its technologies, thank you 🌹
Thank you, Yvonne Islam
You have forgotten the term VoiceOver, which means the speaker for you. The feature is for the blind, and I am using it. I want to help you, iPhone Islam. I want an article about this system. I want programs for the blind. My order
May Allah reward you
You forgot the first and most important phrase:
“One more thing…”
The phrase beyond which changes the world ...
The phrase that we are eagerly anticipating, hoping that the end of each conference will be said to Apple ... because what is beyond it will upset the scales.
Indeed, this phrase is the most important in the history of the company ... ... well done
👍🏻
