Apple doesn't use the BSD kernel, Apple uses the Mach kernel, both for
OS X and for the iPhone OS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_(kernel)

Apple uses the BSD userland in OS X and a reduced subset of the BSD
userland on the iPhone.

I understand that many iPhone jailbreakers install a full, replacement
BSD userland as part of the jailbreak process.  Please correct me on
this part if you have more details.
