I recently ran across the idevice tag and was wondering if we could purge that out. Currently there is only one question tagged idevice.
I do not think we need this tag, as it is too broad. Tags are meant to narrow down to topics, not such broad overarching tags. ios also already covers this, as do the specific tags iphone ipad ipod ipod-touch.
Secondly, idevice is not a word. You never see Apple referring to their product lines with idevice.
Based on this, can we purge this tag from the system, and/or create a synonym to ios?

It's gone (for now). Ping us if it surfaces again after the 24 hour period needed to clean it up now that no questions are using that tag.

Yes, please.
… create a synonym to iOS?
idevice is not a word (agreed), so there's no need for it to be a synonym of anything.
