With the June 6, 2011 announcement of iOS version 5.0, a USB connection to iTunes is no longer needed to activate iOS devices; data synchronization happens automatically and wirelessly through Apple's new iCloud service. Revamped notifications, a proprietary messaging app across all iOS devices and full Twitter integration are among the reported 200 new features.
Apple's iOS did not have an official name until the release of the iPhone software development kit (iPhone SDK) on March 6, 2008. Before then, Apple marketing literature simply stated that their iPhone runs a version of "OS X", a reference to iOS's parent, Mac OS X. When introduced, it was named iPhone OS. It was renamed iOS on June 7, 2010, since iPhone was no longer the only device to run iOS by then.
