Considering this is a technological world that always screams "what have you done for me lately," at tech makers, the Apple fans at Kinvey have decided to show the audience the evolution of iOS to explore what exactly Apple has been up to.

Mobile device users are a notoriously fickle bunch. Only a few years ago, if you were on the cutting edge, you were using a [BlackBerry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clicks). The recent release of the BlackBerry 10 not withstanding, BlackBerry users are all of sudden seen as behind the times. Apple as a company faces similar accusations of stagnation. However, when you take a look at the evolution of iOS, the operating system that powers devices like [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ios-16), [iPod Touch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ppsspp-ios) and iPad, one can see that Apple doesn't rest on its laurels very much, just like BlackBerry doesn't either.

Perhaps this is a wake up call to just enjoy the incremental improvements of our current technology and just take in the awesome present without worrying about the next big thing. Forget the future of technology, today is already pretty awesome and it's getting better.
