As far as I can tell, it's a bug in Apple's WebGL implementation for iOS. It seems to have a tendency of silently failing and giving weird results instead of throwing an error. Since the last release, I've added checks that catch some of these errors. I'll try this image with the development version once I have access to an iOS device again (in about two weeks).

Thank you so much for looking into this. Oddly enough, the image on the pannellum.org page works fine on ipad. Off topic briefly to ask a question... Is there anything in the works to add hotspot hover image and/or video rather than opening in a new browser window? If so, I would like to know implementation.

The panorama on pannellum.org is a multires panorama that uses small tiles, so no devices have texture size issues (which I suspect might be why the other panorama doesn't display properly).

For your other question, #12 added support for this, but I don't have any examples (and it might be broken as I've never tested it). Adding either an image or a video parameter with the image/video's URL to the hotspot's configuration should provide the desired functionality.

I'll do some testing on this. Would this code already be implemented into the latest version or would I need to download something newer than 2.1.1? Cheers

It's in 2.1.1.

After doing some testing, it seems to be due to a bug in Apple's WebGL implementation. Only progressive JPEGs seem to work, with standard JPEGs producing the pattern described in this bug report. I only tried a couple images, so I'm not positive this is the cause, but if it is, there's nothing I can do about it.

This seems to have been fixed in iOS 9. I added in a check to display an error message in iOS 8, though.
