Apple Stops Signing iOS 17.2, Downgrading No Longer PossibleApple last night stopped signing the iOS 17.2 update, preventing
iPhone users from downgrading to that version of iOS going forward. iOS 17.2 is no longer being signed following the December 19
release of iOS 17.2.1, an update that brought bug fixes.
It is not unusual that iOS 17.2 is no longer being signed. Apple routinely stops signing older versions of iOS after new releases in order to encourage customers to keep their operating systems up to date and to prevent users from downgrading to older, less secure versions of the ‌iPhone‌ operating system.
The iOS 17.2 update brought the Journal app, spatial video recording on the
iPhone 15 Pro models, updates to Messages and
Apple Music, and more. Apple did not ever provide details on the bug fixes included in iOS 17.2.1.
Apple is
already testing iOS 17.3, an update that is expected to come out later in January.
