After releasing iOS 17.4 update with a plethora of new features for users, Apple has now stopped signing iOS 17.3.1. This means users who upgrade to the latest iOS version will no longer have the option to downgrade to previous versions.
Apple blocks users from downgrading to iOS 17.3.1
According to Macrumors, this move by Apple is not unexpected, as the company typically stops signing older iOS versions a few weeks after releasing a new one. This action is seen as part of Apple's efforts to help users stay updated with the latest features and ensure device security. Previously, the company also stopped signing iOS 17.3.
Moreover, in recent years, there have been few reasons for users to downgrade to older iOS versions, especially as they often update iOS directly via OTA rather than through iTunes. Previously, users mostly downgraded iOS for jailbreaking purposes.
Currently, the latest official iOS version is iOS 17.4. Additionally, there are rumors that the company is developing iOS 17.4.1, a minor update addressing bugs to be released to iPhone users soon.
