The iOS logo font

im assuming that if you have seen the presentation for 2010 when iOS was first introduced, you would remember that shiny look they gave it.
What I'm trying to do is find the font they used to make it.(If there is one at all.)
if you remember or know if there is one or where to get it, please let me know.

Thank you,
me

I think it may be a manual thing. I know I created a similar graphic on one of my webpages.

but, it was build by applying gradients to the outline of an X.

I think I posted it in the wrong place last time.
Oh, I figured as much but could I make a font for it? You know like make every letter and save them all as a font? Or is there an easyer way?

No, the best you could do is to create all the letters then save them in together in a document. But, the way this effect looks, it appears that it always stretches across all the letters, so you'd have to create the lettering and then create the effect over all the parts.

It'd be a lot of work for Keynote, likely much easier in Photoshop.
