IOS kunye neOS OS babelana ngeempawu ezininzi, kwaye baya kwabelana ngakumbi nangakumbi. Abanye baphumelele ngakumbi, njengeZiko leSaziso, abanye banokuncinci, njengeLaunchPad. Ixesha elizayo liza kubona iinkqubo zekhompyuter kunye nezeselfowuni zisebenza ngokudibeneyo, into endicinga ukuba iza kuthatha ixesha elide, kodwa into esinokuyenza kukuthatha eyona nto siyithanda kakhulu enye nenye siyisebenzise kuzo zombini. Ngolu luvo luza kwiBhodi yokuSebenza, usetyenziso olongeza ibar ye-multitasking bar kwi-Mac yakho.
Umbono uyafana nakwi-iOS: ibha ebonisa zonke izicelo ezivulekileyo, ukubanakho ukufikelela ngokukhawuleza okanye ukuzicima njengakwi-iOS, ubambe de kube bayangcangcazela emva koko ucofe kwisangqa esibomvu. Isicelo sisinika ukhetho lokujonga kuqala usetyenziso, kunye nokuguqula indlela emfutshane yebhodi yezitshixo ukuyibonisa. Olunye ukhetho olunokubakho kukuvela ngokuzenzekelayo xa isikhombisi semouse sisezantsi kwesikrini.
Ukhetho lokujonga kuqala alukhuthazwa kwiiMacs ezinemizobo emiselweyo, ngakumbi iiMacbook ezinekhadi lemizobo elihlanganisiweyo, kuba uya kuqaphela ukwehla okuthile xa ibha ivela. Ke ukuba uqaphela ukuba ayizukuhamba ngokutyibilikayo njengoko kufanelekile, khetha u- "Akukho mboniso yangaphambili". Isicelo sikwi-beta, kwaye simahla. Iyahambelana kuphela neNtaba yeNgonyama, kwaye ungayikhuphela kwiphepha leSourceForge, kwaye emva kokukhutshelwa kunye nokufakelwa, ungayicwangcisa kwimenyu yokukhetha yenkqubo. Kuyathakazelisa ukuba kwii-tweaks ze-iOS eziguqula ibar ye-multitasking eza ngokungagqibekanga ayeki ukuvela, kwaye ngoku kwi-OS X baphuhlisa isicelo esizisa loo bar yemveli kwi-OS X.
Olunye ulwazi-iAuxo, ingqikelelo yokwenza izinto ezininzi kwi-iPhone 5 iyenzeka
