iPhone OS 1

Main article: iPhone OS 1

Apple announced iPhone OS 1 at the iPhone keynote on January 9, 2007, and it was released to the public alongside the first-generation iPhone on June 29, 2007.^[3] No official name was given when the iPhone was released, and Steve Jobs just said "iPhone runs OS X".^[4][5] During the development phase of iPhone OS 1, "probably 16, 17 different concepts" were developed. Many on the team were skeptical of the feasibility of a touchscreen keyboard, and believed that users would prefer hardware keyboards. A number of different user interfaces were prototyped, including one that involved a multi-touch click-wheel.^[6]

iPhone OS 1 was criticized for its lack of support for Adobe Flash web content, copy and paste, and Bluetooth stereo headphones.^[7] It also lacked support for third-party native apps, and only supported web apps,^[8] which was criticized by reviewers and developers,^[9][10] including John Carmack.^[11]

iPhone OS 1.1 was the first version supported by the first generation iPod Touch.^[12] iPhone OS 1.1.4 is the final version of iPhone OS 1 for the first generation iPhone, with iPhone OS 1.1.5 being the final version of iPhone OS 1 available for the first generation iPod Touch.^[13] It was succeeded by iPhone OS 2 on July 11, 2008.^[14]
