Many of the problems people have with upgrading to new versions of system software in general over the years is that it breaks various interactions with other systems. In the case of iPhones, there are many interactions with Mac desktop apps (especially iTunes), and iCloud, and iPad versions of apps, etc.

These are usually dismissed as "features" rather than "bugs" since Apple has broken compatibility or dropped features on purpose.

I really want to know what will break if I update to a new iOS without updating every Mac/IPad/etc I own to their latest OS! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.151.194.138 (talk) 09:52, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Incompatabilities with the previous version may be better put in each version's own page. Hym3242 (talk) 08:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have added iOS 17 issues, but iOS 15-16 issues still need to be added. Mseingth2133444 (talk) 00:54, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

I was adding content to this page and unintentionally marked the edit as "minor". Sorry to anyone this confuses. Mseingth2133444 (talk) 17:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

To clarify, this revision is from 17:42, January 8, 2024‎ (UTC), not 17:46. Again, sorry to all this may confuse. Mseingth2133444 (talk) 17:47, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

This article is not anything near an article, so I think it would be the right step to class it as a list. Mseingth2133444 (Did I mess up? Let me know here | Thank me here) 17:56, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
