Apple Stops Signing iOS 18.0, No More Downgrades from iOS 18.0.1
As reported by 9to5Mac, Apple has stopped signing iOS 18.0, preventing users who have updated to iOS 18.0.1 from downgrading. This is a common practice for Apple following the release of a new iOS version.
iOS 18.0.1 Addresses Key Issues
iOS 18.0.1, released recently, includes fixes for several issues that users experienced with iOS 18.0. These issues include:
- Touchscreen unresponsiveness
- Camera freezing
- Unexpected app quitting
- Performance issues
Apple typically stops signing older iOS versions a week or so after a new update. This is done to encourage users to stay on the latest version of iOS, which generally has the latest features, bug fixes, and security improvements.
While some users may want to downgrade due to issues encountered in a new release, this is no longer possible once Apple stops signing the older version.
