Release notes

Overview

Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.

iOS 7.0.2 focused on lock-screen protections. Apple documented separate paths that could expose dialing controls or recently used apps and photos while a device was locked.[1][2]

The update also restored the Greek keyboard as a passcode-entry option. Apple’s 2013 security index records the release on September 26, 2013.[3][1]
