Users with devices that can't run iOS 8, such as the iPhone 4, can still download the latest compatible version of iOS 7.</p> <!--break--> <p>From AppleInsider (http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/26/apple-stops-ios-712-code-signing-restricts-downgrading-from-ios-8):</p>

<p>With Apple no longer performing iOS 7 code signing, users who previously upgraded to the latest iOS 8 version can no longer revert to the last-generation OS. As noted above, owners of non-compatible devices like the iPhone 4 and original iPad still have access to the firmware.</p>

<p>iOS 7.2.1 was the last version of iOS 7 to be released, coming in June with a number of fixes.</p> <p>How do you feel about Apple ending the signing of iOS 7, and were you looking at downgrading? Let us know in the comments.</p> <p>Source: AppleInsider (http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/26/apple-stops-ios-712-code-signing-restricts-downgrading-from-ios-8)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-27353"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3ef0b4f2/sc/5/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
