'''IOS12''' is an [[IOS]] that was previously thought to be the oldest,{{ref|[https://hackmii.com/2009/06/ios-history-build-process/ "IOS: history, build process" on HackMii]}} but that was due to an outdated build date of June 4, 2006, probably from [[IOSP]].

It is notable that [[IOS11]] and IOS12 have much lower version numbers than IOS9 and IOS10; IOS12 was most likely forked from [[IOS5]]v5, since IOS5 is known to support [[WiiConnect24]]. It is worth noting that this versioning system was not used from the beginning, evident in the fact that it is extremely unlikely for IOS9v1 to have been forked from "IOS3v0" or "IOS4v0."

IOS12v6 is most likely a copy of IOS11v6, since both IOS11 and IOS12 have NCD modules that use [[:/shared2/sys/net/02/config.dat]], while [[IOS5]] is known to have an NCD module that uses [[:/shared2/sys/net/config.dat]] due to the code responsible for deciding on the config file using the latter on every IOS before IOS11.

 

Alternatively, IOS12 may be a static fork of IOS11v6, since something similar was done with [[IOS34]], and IOS13v7 was presumably built from the same code as IOS11v7. This possible origin of IOS12 can be verified by seeing what kind of differences exist between IOS11v10 and IOS12v6.

The [[SDK]] version built for IOS12 only supports 4:3 video.
