The Oxford Dictionary of English is at the forefront of language research, focusing on English as it is used today, informed by the most up-to-date evidence from the largest language research programme in the world, including the 800-million-word Oxford English Corpus. This revised edition includes hundreds of brand-new words and senses, as well as up-to-date encyclopedic information, and extensive appendices covering topics such as countries, heads of state, and chemical elements.

User review answers:

Mr. DanPatMc, (US)
ODE is probably the Bentley.
OED is more like a freight train.
Sound like you were looking for unabridged dictionary.

ODE covers modern English and doesn't try to cover archaic usages.
The Shorter Oxford has more archaic words, but not all the usages.
The OED is the best without a doubt, but not available for iOS. Only for subscription on the Web.
