Several mobile OSs have shaped the mobile landscape. The reference mentions some of the most well-known mobile OSs, including:
- Android: A widely used open-source OS developed by Google.
- iOS: Apple's proprietary OS, exclusively used on iPhones and iPads.
- Windows Phone OS: Microsoft's now-discontinued mobile OS.
- Symbian: An older OS that was popular in the early days of smartphones.
