Apple stops signing iOS 14.6
As usual in the apple, when new public versions of their operating systems appear, the previous ones are “canceled”. On this occasion, iOS 14.6 can no longer be officially installed on an iPhone. Your users will need to opt for one of the two most recent versions.
This version of iOS made some cool improvements to the iPhone like lossless support for Apple Music, changes to search and podcasts, etc. Now and with their signature removed, users will be forced to switch to newer versions if they want to upgrade from an older one.
On top of that, the end of the digital signature of previous versions iOS makes calling a little more complicated downgrade. Some users use it to be able to install the jailbreak on your iPhones because it takes advantage of unresolved security bugs in older versions.
As Apple removes the signature from previous versions, users tendency to install the last. Protecting themselves from potential security threats, but also closing the door to a jailbreak more accessible.
