iOS and Hardware

iOS Architecture 4

iOS supplies the API’s needed todevelop the final user applicationsand some system applications

Those API’s are layered.

iOS itself can be considered as theintermediary between the applicationsand the hardware and other componentspresent in the device

In the first versions only one applicationcan use the screen and interact withthe user.

Layers of iOS APIs
