Apple no longer signs iOS 16, you can only install iOS 16.0.2, and that while wa iting for the new iOS 16.1 which will arrive in a few weeks.
Several weeks have passed since the official introduction of iOS 16, and since then Apple has released two minor updates: iOS 16.0.1 and iOS 16.0.2. Now the company has stopped signing both iOS 16.0 and iOS 16.0.1so the only official version of iOS 16 you can restore to is iOS 16.0.2.
iOS 16.0.1 only came to the new iPhone 14 generation to fix some bugs, and iOS 16.0.2 arrived just a few days ago. Yes Apple has decided to no longer sign previous versions and just let iOS 16.0.2 install. Although there is a second way: iOS 15.7, which is still available for those who didn’t want to update to iOS 16, or downgrade in case you don’t like the new Apple system.
Apple has stopped signing early versions of iOS 16, you will only be able to install iOS 16.0.2
Apple resorts to this type of action and stops signing previous versions so that users can update, So, it is very important to have the latest version of iOS to fix the latest security issues that keep the user and their device safe.
Moreover, having an updated iPhone guarantees access to new functions or interface changes that the company has implemented in the system. Secure a best performance on the device and a voucher user experience for the user.
Despite everything, Apple continues to authorize the downgrade to iOS 15
This was never possible on iOS, at least not pray so long. Apple decided to let users choose between iOS 16 and iOS 15 because we still have iOS 15.7 available with the same security updates as iOS 16, but without all the improvements.
Not easy how long iOS 15.7 will remain available as an alternative option to iOS 16but if you have problems in iOS 16, like with the battery, you can more or less easily revert to iOS 15.7, even if you lose your data.
Recall that we already have with us the third beta of iOS 16.1, a version loaded with improvements that we should see in a few weeks. In As soon as iOS 16.1 is released, Apple will also stop signing iOS 16.0.2 leaving only this version. And this will happen with every update.
