Revision 838232648 of "IOS version history" on enwiki{{close paraphrasing|date=April 2018}}

{{Use mdy dates|date=February 2018}}
'''[[iOS]]''' is a mobile operating system, developed by [[Apple Inc.]] for [[iPhone]], [[iPad]], and [[iPod Touch]]. Updates for iOS are released through the [[iTunes]] software, and, since [[iOS 5]], via [[Over-the-air programming|over-the-air]] software updates. With the announcement of iOS 5.0 on June 6, 2011, a USB connection to iTunes was no longer needed to activate iOS devices; data synchronization can happen automatically and wirelessly through Apple's [[iCloud]] service. Major new iOS releases are announced yearly during the [[Apple Worldwide Developers Conference]] (WWDC), and are usually released in September of the same year, usually coinciding with the release of new [[iPhone]] models. The current stable release, [[IOS 11#11.3|iOS 11.3.1]], was released on April 24, 2018.

June 2007 saw the official first version release of what eventually became iOS – concurrently with the first iPhone. iOS did not have an official name until the official release of the iPhone software development kit ([[IOS SDK|iPhone SDK]]) on March 6, 2008. Before then, Apple marketing simply stated that iPhone ran a version of [[MacOS|Mac OS X]] made specifically for iPhone.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/features/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071006005308/http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/index.html|archive-date=October 6, 2007 |title=Apple - iPhone - Features |date=October 6, 2007}}</ref> When iOS was introduced, it was named ''iPhone OS''. It was officially renamed iOS on June 7, 2010 with the announcement and introduction of iPad. The introduction of iPad, and the existence of iPod Touch, meant the iPhone was no longer the only device to run the mobile operating system. iOS 4 was the first major iOS release that reflected the name change.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.macworld.com/article/151812/2010/06/iphone_os_4_wwdc.html |title=iPhone OS gets new name, video calling |last= |first= |date=June 27, 2010 |newspaper=Macworld|access-date=February 4, 2017 |work= |language=en |via=}}</ref> Apple licensed the "iOS" trademark from [[Cisco Systems]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blogs.cisco.com/news/cisco_and_apple_agreement_on_ios_trademark |title=Cisco and Apple Agreement on IOS Trademark |last= |first= |date= |website=blogs@Cisco - Cisco Blogs |publisher= |language=en-US|access-date=February 4, 2017}}</ref>
Apple concurrently provides the same version of iOS for the comparable model of iPhone and iPod Touch, usually devices released in the same calendar year. iPhone users receive all software updates for free, while iPod Touch users paid for the 2.0 and 3.0 major software updates. As of iOS 4.0, Apple no longer charges money for iPod Touch updates.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.knowyourmobile.com/blog/502495/iphone_os_40_ios4_update_available_from_june_21.html |title=iPhone OS 4.0 (iOS4) update available from June 21 – News |date= |publisher=Know Your Mobile |accessdate=June 9, 2010}}</ref>
As of 2017, two versions of iOS were never released. iPhone OS 1.2, which after the first beta was replaced by a 2.0 version number; the second beta was named 2.0 beta 2 instead of 1.2 beta 2. The other was iOS 4.2, replaced with 4.2.1 due to a Wi-Fi bug in 4.2 beta 3, causing [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] to release 2 golden masters (4.2 GM and 4.2.1 GM).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.imore.com/ios-421-gm-seed-iphone-ipad-released-developers |title=iOS 4.2.1 GM seed for iPhone, iPad released to developers |work=iMore |accessdate=October 22, 2015}}</ref> One version of iOS was pulled back by Apple ''after'' being released. iOS 8.0.1 was pulled back by Apple because cellular service and Touch ID were disabled on [[iPhone 6]] and iPhone 6 Plus.

===iPhone OS 1===
Apple announced [[iPhone OS 1]] at the iPhone keynote on January 9, 2007, and it was released to the public alongside the original iPhone on June 29, 2007. No official name was given on its initial release; Apple marketing literature simply stated the iPhone runs a version of Apple's desktop operating system, [[OS X]].<ref name="Apple OSX version">{{cite web |url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/features/index.html |title=iPhone – Features – OS X |publisher=[[Apple Inc.]] |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071006005308/http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/index.html |archivedate=October 6, 2007}}</ref> The release of iPhone OS 1.1 brought support for the iPod touch (1st generation). iPhone OS 1.1.5 is the final version of iPhone OS 1. Support of iPhone OS 1 ended in 2010.

===iOS 4===
Apple announced [[iOS 4]] in March 2010 and it was released to the public on June 21, 2010 alongside the iPhone 4. With this release, Apple dropped support for the original iPhone and iPod touch, the first time they had done this. All other devices from the iPhone 3G onwards and the iPod touch (2nd generation) onward are supported. However, iOS 4 has limited support for the [[iPhone 3G]] and [[iPod Touch]] (2nd generation), as they lack of multitasking capabilities and the ability to set a home screen wallpaper. It is also the first major iOS release that iPod Touch users did not have to pay for. The release of iOS 4.2.1 brought compatibility to the original iPad and is the final supported release on the iPhone 3G and iPod touch (2nd generation) due to major performance issues. The release of iOS 4.3 brought [[iPad 2]] compatibility.<ref name="iPad2min">https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2011/03/02Apple-Launches-iPad-2/</ref><ref name="iPad2min everymac">https://everymac.com/systems/apple/ipad/ipad-faq/differences-between-ipad-2-original-ipad.html</ref> Support of iOS 4 ended in 2013.

|'''iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch (4th generation) only'''
''Final release supported on [[iPhone 3GS]], and [[iPod Touch]] (4th generation)''
* Fix [[Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures|CVE]]-2014-1266, a bug in Secure Transport that can cause it to fail to properly authenticate a [[Transport Layer Security|SSL/TLS]] connection. This bug also occurred in iOS 7, and was caused by a duplicate <code>goto fail;</code> statement in the source code that caused critical parts of the certificate verification code to become [[unreachable code]]. This bug is informally known as the goto fail bug as a result.

===iOS 7===
Apple announced [[iOS 7]] on June 10, 2013 at its annual [[Apple Worldwide Developers Conference]] (WWDC) event, and it was released to the public on September 18, 2013 alongside the [[iPhone 5C]] and [[iPhone 5S]]. With this release, Apple dropped support for the [[iPhone 3GS]] (due to hardware limitations) and the [[iPod Touch]] (4th generation) (due to performance issues). All other devices from the [[iPhone 4]] onwards, [[iPod Touch (5th generation)]] onwards, the [[iPad 2]] onwards, and the [[iPad Mini (1st generation)]] onwards are supported. However, iOS 7 has limited support on the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4 since they do not support Siri. The release of iOS 7.0.3 brought support for the iPad Air and iPad mini 2. iOS 7.1.2 is the final release on the iPhone 4. Support of iOS 7 ended in 2016.

===iOS 8===
Apple announced [[iOS 8]] on June 2, 2014, at its annual [[Apple Worldwide Developers Conference]] (WWDC) event, and it was released to the public on September 17, 2014 alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. With this release, Apple dropped support for only one device, the [[iPhone 4]]. All other devices from the [[iPhone 4S]] onwards, [[iPod Touch (5th generation)]] onwards, the [[iPad 2]] onwards, and the [[iPad Mini (1st generation)]] onwards are supported. However, iOS 8 has limited support on the iPad 2, iPhone 4S, and the iPod Touch (5th generation), and Apple received widespread complaints of extremely poor/slow performance from owners of these devices. The release of iOS 8.1 brought support for the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3, and the release of iOS 8.4 brought support for the iPod touch (6th generation). iOS 8.3 was also the first version of iOS to have public beta testing be available. The final version of iOS 8 is iOS 8.4.1. Support for iOS 8 ended in 2017.

===iOS 9===
Apple announced [[iOS 9]] on June 8, 2015, at its annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event, and it was released to the public on September 16, 2015 alongside the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and iPad mini 4. With this release, Apple did not drop support for any iOS devices. Therefore, iOS 9 was supported on the iPhone 4S onwards, iPod Touch (5th generation) onwards, the iPad 2 onwards, and the iPad Mini (1st generation) onwards. This release made the iPad 2 the first iOS device to support six major releases of iOS, supporting iOS 4 to 9. However, iOS 9 has limited support on the iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad (3rd generation), iPad Mini (1st generation), and iPod Touch (5th generation). Despite Apple's promise of better performance on these devices, there were still widespread complaints that the issue had not been fixed. iOS 9.3.5 is the final release on the iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad (3rd generation), iPod Touch (5th generation) and iPad Mini (1st generation)

===iOS 10===
Apple announced [[iOS 10]] on June 13, 2016, at its annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event, and it was released to the public on September 13, 2016 alongside the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. With this release, Apple dropped support for devices using an [[Apple A5|A5]] or [[Apple A5X|A5X]] processor: the [[iPhone 4S]], [[iPad 2]], [[iPad (3rd generation)]], [[iPad Mini (1st generation)]] and [[iPod Touch (5th generation)]]. All other devices from the iPhone 5 onwards, iPod touch (6th generation) onwards, iPad (4th generation) onwards, and the iPad mini 2 onwards are supported. However, iOS 10 has limited support on the [[iPhone 5]], [[iPhone 5C]], and [[iPad (4th generation)]],{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} because those devices have 32-bit processors.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} The release of iOS 10.2.1 brought support for the iPad (5th generation), and iOS 10.3.2 brought support for the iPad Pro (10.5-inch) and the iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 2nd generation). iOS 10.3.3 is the final supported release for the iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, and iPad (4th generation) and last iOS version to run on 32-bit processors.

===iOS 11===
Apple announced [[iOS 11]] on June 5, 2017, at its annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event, and it was released to the public on September 19, 2017 alongside the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. With this release, Apple dropped support for the 32-bit [[iPhone 5]], [[iPhone 5C]], and the [[iPad (4th generation)|iPad]], making iOS a 64-bit only OS that only runs 64-bit apps. All other devices from the iPhone 5s onwards, iPod touch (6th generation) onwards, iPad Air onwards, and iPad mini 2 onwards are supported. However, iOS 11 has limited support on devices with an [[Apple A7|A7]] processor: the [[iPhone 5S]], [[iPad Mini 2]], [[iPad Mini 3]], and [[iPad Air]].

==Notable software bugs and issues in iOS==
===iOS 4===
{{main|iOS 4#Problems}}
;Alarm clock bugs
The Alarm feature of the built in Clock app in the iPhone and iPod Touch has been plagued by major bugs in all versions of iOS 4. The first bug noticed was the "DST bug" which was first seen when some countries switched to/from daylight saving time from/to standard time in October/November 2010.<ref name="SMH iOS 4 alarm bug">{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/iphone/apple-to-fix-dst-alarm-bug-20101007-168um.html|title=Apple to fix DST alarm bug|date=October 7, 2010|accessdate=September 19, 2012|publisher=The Sydney Morning Herald}}</ref><ref name="Engadget iOS 4 DST alarm fail">{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2010/11/01/iphone-dst-bug-causing-alarms-to-fail-across-europe|title=iPhone DST bug causing alarms to fail across Europe (updated)|date=November 1, 2010|publisher=Engadget|accessdate=January 8, 2012}}</ref> It caused recurring alarms to start going off an hour too early or late.

The second alarm clock bug discovered was the "New Year's Day bug" which showed up on January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012. It caused non-recurring alarms to never work.<ref name="Engadget iOS 4 alarm bug">{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2010/12/31/psa-iphone-alarms-not-working-come-new-years-day-2011|title=PSA: iPhone alarms not working come New Year's Day 2011|date=December 31, 2010|publisher=Engadget|accessdate=January 8, 2012}}</ref> However two days after each New Year's Day, on January 3, 2011, they "magically" started working again.

===iOS 5===
{{main|iOS 5#Problems}}
;Battery drain bugs
Apple confirmed that several battery life bugs were negatively affecting battery life in iOS 5.<ref name="Engadget iOS 5 battery bug">{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2011/11/02/apple-confirms-ios-5-bugs-causing-battery-drain-promises-a-fix|title=Apple confirms iOS 5 bugs causing battery drain, promises a fix 'in a few weeks'|date=November 2, 2011|publisher=Engadget|accessdate=January 17, 2012}}</ref> They attempted to fix these bugs with iOS 5.0.1 and 5.1 but the problem still remained.<ref name="Engadget iOS 5 battery improvement">{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2011/11/11/poll-have-you-noticed-battery-improvements-after-updating-to-io|title=Poll: Have you noticed battery improvements after updating to iOS 5.0.1?|date=November 11, 2011|publisher=Engadget|accessdate=January 8, 2012}}</ref> Finally, these bugs were fixed in iOS 5.1.1.
;Wi-Fi
The launch of the iOS 5 update on October 12, 2011 (including iOS 5.0.1 released on November 10, 2011), led many users to report a major bug causing the device to lose [[Wi-Fi]] access. This problem has supposedly been fixed with the release of iOS 5.1.1<ref name="Engadget iOS 5 wifi bug">{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2011/11/21/thanks-to-ios-5-some-users-lose-wifi-connectivity|title=Thanks to iOS 5.1 some users lose Wifi connectivity|date=November 21, 2011|publisher=Engadget|accessdate=January 13, 2012}}</ref><ref name="Simonblog wifi bug">{{cite web|url=http://www.simonblog.com/2011/11/27/wi-fi-connectivity-problems-with-ios-5-update|title=Wi-Fi connectivity problems with iOS 5.1 update|date=November 27, 2011|publisher=Simonblog|accessdate=January 8, 2012}}</ref>

Some users of the iPhone 4S and iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) reported issues with the [[Subscriber Identity Module|SIM]] card in iOS 5.0,<ref name="AppleInsider SIM bug">{{cite web|url=http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/11/17/users_report_sim_card_issues_with_apples_iphone_4s_and_ios_5_0_1.html|title=Users report SIM card issues with Apple's iPhone 4S and iOS 5.0.1|last=Hughes|first=Neil|date=November 17, 2011|accessdate=}}</ref> and even though Apple attempted to fix these issues in version 5.0.1 build 9A406 (for iPhone 4S only), they still remained.<ref name="AppleInsider SIM bug remain">{{cite web|url=http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/12/16/new_ios_build_meant_to_fix_iphone_4s_sim_card_issues.html|title=New iOS build meant to fix iPhone 4S SIM card issues|author=AppleInsider Staff|date=December 16, 2011|accessdate=}}</ref>
;Echo bugs
Some users of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S reported issues with having echo problems during phone call in the initial release of iOS 5, which causes echoes to appear randomly during phone calls made through earbuds. The other party in the call is generally unable to hear the conversation due to this problem.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bgr.com/2011/11/01/audio-echo-bug-plagues-iphone-4s-owners-during-voice-calls/|title=Audio echo bug plagues iPhone 4S owners during voice calls|author=|date=November 1, 2011|publisher=BGR|accessdate=March 21, 2013}}</ref> Apple has since released version 5.1.1 in an attempt to fix the problem.

Apple has admitted that there were several bugs in the mapping app on [[iOS 6]], with cities in the wrong location, some places being missed off altogether, some places misnamed and places of interest in the sea.<ref name="Letter from Tim Cook on Maps">{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/letter-from-tim-cook-on-maps|title=Letter from Tim Cook on Maps|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121001014531/http://www.apple.com/letter-from-tim-cook-on-maps|archive-date=October 1, 2012}}</ref><ref name="compweekly map errors">{{cite web|url=http://www.computerweekly.com/news/2240163685/Apple-admits-iPhone-5-Maps-app-needs-fixing|title=Apple admits iPhone 5 Maps app needs fixing|last=Ashford|first=Warwick|accessdate=September 21, 2012}}</ref><ref name="ibtimes map errors">{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.com/apple-concedes-its-errors-maps-application-asserts-working-hard-improve-experience-expert-rules-out|title=Apple Concedes Its Errors in Maps Application; Asserts 'Working Hard' To Improve Experience; Expert Rules Out Google Maps App For iOS 6|last=Valli Meenakshi|first=Ramanathan|publisher=IBT|accessdate=September 21, 2012}}</ref> Problems submitted by users have gradually been addressed with daily updates to Maps.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/06/30/apple-updating-its-maps-with-user-corrections-every-day-at-3-am-eastern|title=Apple updating its Maps with user corrections every day at 3 am Eastern|accessdate=April 19, 2015}}</ref>
;Bluetooth
Many users report a problem with Bluetooth audio streaming to a range of compatible devices. The sound cuts out every now and then for no apparent reason. {{As of|2012|10}}, no solution has been provided by Apple.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4318307?start=0&tstart=0|title=iOS 6 Bluetooth problems}}</ref>
;Location-based Reminders
Location-based reminders do not work for iPads, even though they were promised to work on cellular enabled devices.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4311603|title=Will Location based reminders work on ios 6 for the IPad 3 I keep getting a message that siri can't do location based reminders on this device any help please}}</ref> It has later been clarified by Apple that only the 4th generation iPad and the iPad Mini 1st generation or later will be able to use this.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202335|title=Create and use Reminders on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support}}</ref>
;Cellular Network
In iOS 6.1, users reported problems with cellular connectivity. This was addressed for the iPhone 4S in iOS 6.1.1 which "fixes an issue that could impact cellular performance and reliability for iPhone 4S."<ref name="PCmag 4S bugs">{{cite news|url=https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2415311,00.asp|title=Apple Rolls Out iOS 6.1.1 to Fix iPhone 4S Bugs|last=Albanesius|first=Chloe|date=February 11, 2014|work=PC Magazine|accessdate=February 11, 2013}}</ref>
;Do Not Disturb
Many iPhone users experienced a bug with the Do Not Disturb feature when the calendar changed from 2012 to 2013. The feature would be left on past the scheduled time set by the user, allowing texts, notifications, and alarm settings to be missed. The bug was caused by a difference in formatting in the [[ISO 8601|ISO calendar]] system versus the [[Gregorian calendar]] system.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/01/ask-ars-why-will-apples-do-not-disturb-bug-fix-itself-next-week|title=Ask Ars: Why will Apple's Do Not Disturb bug fix itself next week?|last=Cheng|first=Jacqui|date=January 3, 2013|accessdate=January 4, 2013}}</ref> Apple did not offer a quick software update for the bug, instead saying that the bug would fix itself on January 7, 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4510?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US|title=iOS 6: Do Not Disturb mode stays on after scheduled time|date=January 2, 2013|publisher=Apple.com|accessdate=January 4, 2013}}</ref>
;Microsoft Exchange
Another bug causes issues when iOS devices connect to a Microsoft Exchange server to retrieve email, resulting in message "mailbox server resources are consumed, log growth becomes excessive, memory and CPU use may increase significantly, and server performance is affected".<ref name="theverge MS Exchange bug">{{cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2013/2/12/3981682/microsoft-investigating-ios-6-1-exchange-sync-problems|title=Microsoft suggests throttling or blocking iOS 6.1 devices after bug slows down Exchange servers|last=Robertson|first=Adi|date=February 12, 2013|accessdate=February 12, 2013}}</ref> Microsoft have suggested several workarounds,<ref name="MS workarounds for exchange">{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2814847?wa=wsignin1.0|title=Rapid growth in transaction logs, CPU use, and memory consumption in Exchange Server 2010 when a user syncs a mailbox by using an iOS 6.1-based device|date=February 13, 2013|accessdate=February 13, 2013}}</ref> and Apple responded with a KnowledgeBase article describing the cause of the bug and a suggested temporary workaround, promising a fix in the near future,<ref name="Apple Exchange bug promise">{{cite web|url=http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4532|title=iOS 6.1: Excess Exchange activity after accepting an exception to recurring calendar event|date=February 13, 2013|accessdate=February 14, 2013}}</ref> which was then fixed with release of iOS 6.1.2.
;Lockscreen bypass code
On iPhones, another bug found in 6.1 allowing bypassing the lock screen's passcode to temporarily gain full access to the Phone app, by performing a specific sequence of actions on the phone that remained unfixed,<ref name="Gizmodo 6.1 phone bypass">{{cite web|url=http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/02/you-can-bypass-the-ios-6-1-lockcode-screen-with-this-simple-technique|title=You Can Bypass the iOS 6.1 Lockcode Screen With This Simple Technique|date=February 14, 2013|accessdate=February 14, 2013}}</ref> with Apple acknowledging the bug<ref name="Ars 6.1 bypass fix promise">{{cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/02/ios-passcode-bug-slated-to-be-fixed-in-ios-6-1-3for-real-this-time|title=iOS passcode bug slated to be fixed in iOS 6.1.3—for real this time|last=Cheng|first=Jacqui|date=February 21, 2013|publisher=Ars Technica|accessdate=February 26, 2013}}</ref> and then addressed with release of iOS 6.1.3.
;Audio profile speakerphone
[[iPhone 5]] users experienced dropped calls during the release of iOS 6.1.3 when there was an issue with the audio [[microphone]] profile. This also caused issues with many voice-over commands, including [[Siri]], to get different results than expected or to fail easily. Apple fixed this bug with the release of iOS 6.1.4, which updated the audio speaker profile so users would get better results.
;FaceTime
Shortly when Apple released [[iOS 7]], users running iOS 6 were said to have problems using FaceTime. Apple later released a support document stating that this was due to an expired device certificate and that devices that support iOS 7 should update to it in order to resolve these issues.<ref name="ftbug">{{cite web|url=http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/24/ios-6-facetime-fix/|title=iOS 6 Users on Devices Able to Run iOS 7 Must Upgrade to Fix FaceTime|date=April 24, 2014|accessdate=April 19, 2015}}</ref> Devices that are unable to run iOS 7, such as the fourth-generation iPod Touch, should upgrade to iOS 6.1.6.<ref name="ftbug" />
;Data security
An attacker can collect or modify data in sessions protected by [[SSL/TLS]] protocols. This same bug was also reported on iOS 7.0.4 and iOS 7.0.5 for the iPhone 5C and 5S. For the [[iPhone 3GS]] and the [[iPod Touch]] 4th generation, iOS 6.1.6 was released to fix this issue since iOS 7 is not compatible with these devices (see iOS 7.x).
===iOS 7===
{{main|iOS 7#Problems}}
;Passcode screen bypass bugs
People are able to bypass the "Enter Passcode" screen. This flaw was discovered within hours of it becoming publicly available. This is only able to be done on [[iPhone 5]] and earlier while the [[iPhone 5C]] and [[iPhone 5S]] are safe from this bug. This is caused by the ability to use the [[Control Center (iOS)|control center]] via the lock screen and tapping on the camera or timer buttons. This feature can be turned off in the Settings app.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/20/apple-working-fix-ios-7-lockscreen-bypass-flaw|title=Apple says it's working on fix for iOS 7 lockscreen bypass flaw|last=Gibbs|first=Samuel|date=September 20, 2013|work=theguardian.com|publisher=Guardian News and Media|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130920222059/http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/20/apple-working-fix-ios-7-lockscreen-bypass-flaw|archivedate=September 20, 2013|deadurl=no|accessdate=September 22, 2013|quote=Embarrassing discovery comes within hours of release of new software and exploits Control Center feature to hack into photos, texts and Facebook content}}</ref> This was fixed in iOS 7.0.2.
;Motion Sickness
Users complained about dizziness and vertigo-like symptoms when using this operating system because of parallax motion effects.
In iOS 7.1, a new function in the Settings app named "Reduce Motion" was introduced to reduce the motion of the user interface and disable the parallax effects.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2013/09/28/links-28-sept-apples-ios-7-causing-motion-sickness-and-even-vomiting-in-users/|title=Links 28 Sept, Apple's iOS 7 Causing Motion Sickness And Even Vomiting in Users - Forbes|last=Worstall|first=Tim|work=Forbes}}</ref>
;Creation of CardDAV Accounts not working
Creating a [[CardDAV]] Account contains a bug that needs manual fixing of the CardDAV-Server-URL.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://help.licobo.com/setting/sync/ios/ios7-carddav/?lang=en%7ctitle=licobo.com%7cwork=licobo.com|title=licobo.com|work=licobo.com|accessdate=October 22, 2015}}</ref>
;Battery drain problems
In iOS 7.1, users have reported seeing significant drain on their batteries after installing the new update.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://9to5mac.com/2014/03/13/ios-7-1-makes-everything-faster-including-your-battery-drain/|title=iOS 7.1 makes everything faster – including your battery drain|work=9to5Mac}}</ref>

;Home screen crashes
Users have reported various crashes of the home screen, the core service that renders the home screen icons, Notification Center, Control Center, Siri and the lockscreen.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/apple-promises-to-fix-home-screen-crash-iphone-bug-50013288/|title=Apple promises to fix 'home screen crash' iPhone bug|work=CNET}}</ref> This was fixed in iOS 7.1.
;Data security
Secure transport failed to validate the authenticity of connection. This issue was addressed by restoring missing validation steps. This may cause an attacker with a privileged network position to capture or modify data in sessions protected by [[SSL/TLS]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/21/apple-ios-706/|title=Apple Releases iOS 7.0.6 With Fix for SSL Connection Verification|work=macrumors.com}}</ref> This issue was addressed by the release of iOS 7.0.6.

;Touch ID
In iOS 7.1, [[Touch ID]] was not functioning on the [[iPhone 5S]]. The problem cannot be resolved by turning Touch ID on and off in the "Fingerprint and Passcode" menu, restarting, resetting, or restoring the device using [[iTunes]]. This problem was similar to the [[iOS 8]].0.1 release, which crippled [[iPhone 6|iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus]] of both cellular and Touch ID. This was fixed in iOS 7.1.1.
===iOS 8===
{{main|iOS 8#Problems}}
;HealthKit
Shortly after the release of iOS 8, Apple released a statement pointing out that a bug had been found in the operating system which prevented HealthKit-compatible apps from being released alongside iOS 8.<ref name="HealthKit Bug">{{cite web|url=http://www.cnet.com/news/bug-forces-apple-to-delay-launch-of-healthkit-fitness-apps/|title=Bug forces Apple to delay launch of HealthKit fitness apps|publisher=[[CNET]]|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141019180636/http://www.cnet.com/news/bug-forces-apple-to-delay-launch-of-healthkit-fitness-apps/|archivedate=October 19, 2014}}</ref> Apps already released that included Healthkit functionality were withdrawn from the App Store. iOS 8.0.1/8.0.2 included a fix for this issue.
;iOS 8.0.1
[[iPhone 6|iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus]] users who updated to iOS 8.0.1 wirelessly had cellular service and Touch ID disabled due to a software issue. Over-the-Air downloads of iOS 8.0.1 were stopped within an hour of the release of the software, but many early adopters had been affected. These issues were fixed with the release of iOS 8.0.2 a day later.
;Touch ID
Users who updated phones with Touch ID enabled to iOS 8.3 found out that they could not use Touch ID to make App Store purchases.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://wccftech.com/apple-released-ios-83-bug-fixes-features/|title=Touch ID Fails in App Store With Apples Recent iOS 8.3 Release|last=Salman|first=Ali|date=April 9, 2015|newspaper=WCCFTech|access-date=April 12, 2015}}</ref> A workaround has been devised by users to repair this issue.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://wccftech.com/how-to-fix-touch-id-ios-8-3-bugs/|title=How to Fix iOS 8.3 Touch ID Issue – iOS 8 Tips and Tricks|last=Rafiah|first=Shaikh|date=April 10, 2015|newspaper=WCCFTech|access-date=April 12, 2015}}</ref>
;Performance
Many users of older generation devices such as the iPhone 4s and the iPad 2 reported performance issues with iOS 8. Apple has since released iOS 8.1.1 in attempt to fix the problem.
;Keyboard
Several issues with the new Keyboard API in iOS 8 were reported, including problems with custom keyboards crashing or not appearing, or being replaced with the default keyboard. Apple has since released iOS 8.3 in attempt to fix the problem.
;iMessage
When a specific set of Arabic, Unicode, and English characters are sent through iMessage to an iOS device running iOS 8.0 or later, it causes the device to crash. This bug was discovered by a [[Reddit]] user in May 2015. Apple has since released a software update (iOS 8.4) to fix this issue.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2410183/ios-bug-lets-android-and-windows-phone-users-disable-your-iphones-messages-app|title=iOS 8.4 includes fix for iMessage bug plaguing iPhone users|work=theinquirer.net}}</ref>

'''January 1, 1970'''
On 64-bit iOS devices, setting the date to January 1, 1970 and restarting the iPhone would brick the device until the battery died or was uninstalled.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://gizmodo.com/what-the-hell-is-going-on-with-this-1970-iphone-bug-1759242670|title=What the Hell Is Going on With This 1970 iPhone Bug?|last=Cranz|first=Alex|work=Gizmodo|access-date=October 28, 2017|language=en-US}}</ref> This was fixed with the release of iOS 9.3.
'''Error 53'''
Updating an iPhone 6 with a replaced Touch ID sensor to a new version of iOS would cause the update to fail and the device's date to be lost due to "Error 53."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.cultofmac.com/413066/apple-apologizes-for-error-53-releases-fix/|title=Apple apologizes for Error 53, releases fix {{!}} Cult of Mac|date=February 18, 2016|work=Cult of Mac|access-date=October 28, 2017|language=en-US}}</ref> This was fixed with an iTunes re-release of iOS 9.2.1 with build number 13D20.

As of the iOS 10.2.1 release, iOS throttles CPU performance on iPhones with batteries in poor health. This eventually led to [[Batterygate]] shortly after the iOS 11 release. As a result, Apple announced battery replacements would be $29 instead of $79.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/28/apple-batterygate-letter-full-text.html|title=Apple apologizes for iPhone slowdowns and offers $29 battery replacements|date=December 28, 2017|work=Anita Balakrishnan|access-date=January 24, 2018|language=en-US}}</ref> They also announced that iOS 11.3 would show battery health in the Settings > Battery menu and let the user decide if they wanted the previous 30% shutdown behavior or the throttled CPU.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://9to5mac.com/2018/01/24/ios-11-3-beta-1/|title=Apple releases first iOS 11.3 developer beta for iPhone and iPad|date=January 24, 2018|work=Zac Hall|access-date=January 24, 2018|language=en-US}}</ref>
