Wrong. You can use C++ in ObjC++ source. The header you are looking for is 
<iostream> and it is part of the standard set of headers installed somewhere in 
/usr/include. Ignore the headers in the kernel framework unless you're making a 
kernel extension, because the kernel framework is only to be used for making 
kernel extensions. Kernel extensions use a stripped-down version of C++.

To turn an ObjC source file into an ObjC++ source file, change its extension 
from .m to .mm.

If you feel more comfortable using stdout/stdin or cout/cin, then go ahead and 
use them instead.
