Template parameters[Edit template data]

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.

('short' will return only the latest (minor) version number; 'shortlink' returns the latest version, with a link to the major article; 'date' returns the date of the last update; 'ref' returns the reference for it.) For an older major version, use the version number here ('18'). Currently only supports iOS 18. Suggested values short shortlink date ref 18	String	suggested
Keyword (For version)	2	If a version number is entered as the first parameter, this parameter can be used to specify data from that version.

Updating this template

When updating this page after a new release of iOS, please update all instances of the version (x3), date (x2) and reference (x2). It is likely that {{Current iPadOS}} will need updating too.

References should cite first-party Apple.com web pages (found at support.apple.com/121161 and support.apple.com/100100).

When transitioning to a new major release (i.e., when a new release is announced at WWDC), if any models are stuck on the current release, create a new #switch tree for those models first, and apply that new parameter to all relevant articles before updating this template for the newer release. (Eg: In 2026, iOS 26 will be replaced by iOS 27, and a new tree may be needed for 26.)
