    iOS is lowercase for two reasons:

    • Naming consistency. Since they are already name it iPhone, might as well name the OS the same way.
    • The name was already in use. This may have not been as significant for choosing the name of Apple’s OS, but when the first iPhone released, Cisco IOS was already a family of operating systems for routers and network switches, and the Wii had already released a few months before, and they also called the console’s operating system(s) as IOS.
