(Note Apple's iOS and MacOS X runs on the Mach kernel--one that was originally refined by NeXT in the late 1980's to middle 1990's.)Actually, I think OSX is a BSD derivative. I don't think it's Mach. Sword would know.

No reason it can’t be a BSD derivative with a Mach kernel.

Actually, I think OSX is a BSD derivative. I don't think it's Mach. Sword would know. Apple OS X since Leopard is one of the five certified POSIX® compliant UNIX® 03. It is registered and permitted to use the UNIX® 03 Trademark by The Open Group, the organization which registers UNIX® 03.
So OS X is a BSD based UNIX® 03 which uses a MACH micro kernel.
