== Operating systems[edit] ==

The Operating System (OS)  is the program that manages all applications in a computer and is often considered the most important software. In order for a computer to run, applications make requests to the OS through an application programming interface (API)<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tech Blog: Benefits of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) – Blog Detail – Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI)|url=https://sciencegateways.org/-/tech-blog-benefits-of-application-programming-interfaces-apis-|access-date=2021-10-27|website=sciencegateways.org}}</ref>, and users are able to interact with the OS through a command line or graphical user interface, often with a keyboard and mouse or by touch. A computer that is without an operating system serves no purpose as it will not be able to operate and run tasks effectively.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Computer Basics: Understanding Operating Systems|url=https://edu.gcfglobal.org/en/computerbasics/understanding-operating-systems/1/|access-date=2021-10-27|website=GCFGlobal.org|language=en}}</ref> Since the OS manages the computer’s hardware and software resources, without it the computer will not be able to communicate applications and hardware connected to the computer.

Many types of mobile operating systems (OS) are available for smartphones, including Android, BlackBerry OS, webOS, iOS, Symbian, Windows Mobile Professional (touch screen), Windows Mobile Standard (non-touch screen), and Bada. The most popular are the Apple iPhone, and the newest: Android. Android, a mobile OS developed by Google, is the first completely open-source mobile OS, meaning that it is free to any cell phone mobile network.

Since 2008 customizable OSs allow the user to download apps like games, GPS, utilities, and other tools. Users can also create their own apps and publish them, e.g. to Apple’s App Store. The Palm Pre using webOS has functionality over the Internet and can support Internet-based programming languages such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), HTML, and JavaScript. The Research In Motion (RIM) BlackBerry is a smartphone with a multimedia player and third-party software installation. The Windows Mobile Professional Smartphones (Pocket PC or Windows Mobile PDA) are like personal digital assistants (PDA) and have touchscreen abilities. The Windows Mobile Standard does not have a touch screen but uses a trackball, touchpad, or rockers.

Since 5G is a relatively new type of service, only phones which are newly released or are upcoming can support 5G service. Some of these phones include the iPhone 12/13; select Samsung devices such as the S21 series, Note series, Flip/Fold series, A series; Google Pixel 4a/5; and a few more devices from other manufacturers.
