iBooks is an e-book application by Apple Inc. It was announced in conjunction with the iPad on January 27, 2010, and was released for the iPhone and iPod Touch in mid-2010, as part of the iOS 4 update. Product information released in March 2010 continued to indicate that iBooks would only be available in the U.S. However, it was later announced that the application would be available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK on May 28, 2010—the same day that the iPad was released in those countries.

It primarily receives ePub content from the iBookstore, but users can also add their own ePub and PDF files via data synchronization with iTunes. Additionally, PDFs can be downloaded to iBooks through Safari or Apple Mail. It is also capable of displaying e-books that incorporate multimedia. According to product information as of March 2010, iBooks will be able to "read the contents of any page [to the user]" using VoiceOver.
