Apple officially blocks users from downgrading

After releasing the iOS 17.5.1 update to fix the auto-recovery of deleted photos bug, Apple quickly stopped signing iOS 17.5. This means that iPhone users who upgrade to iOS 17.5.1 or later will no longer be able to downgrade to iOS 17.5.

According to Macrumors, it is common for Apple to stop signing older versions of iOS just a few weeks after releasing a new version. The company always tries to update users with the latest features to ensure the security of their devices. This is part of the strategy of the "bitten apple" to keep its ecosystem stable and secure.

Apple stops signing iOS 17.5

In recent years, the need to downgrade iOS has decreased significantly. With the convenience of direct updates via OTA (Over-the-Air), users rarely use iTunes to upgrade or downgrade the operating system. Previously, the main reason users wanted to downgrade iOS was to jailbreak. However, with the continuous development of iOS and improved security features, this need has decreased significantly.

Currently, the latest official iOS version is iOS 17.5.1, which brings important improvements and bug fixes to users. At the same time, Apple is also preparing to release test versions of iOS 17.6 in the coming weeks.
