IOS12 is an IOS that was previously thought to be the oldest,[1] but that was due to an outdated build date of June 4, 2006, probably from IOSP.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 IOS5v5, 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."

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.
