You Can No Longer Downgrade to iOS 26.1

Apple has stopped signing iOS 26.1, meaning that iPhone users can no longer downgrade to that software version via Finder on macOS or the Apple Devices app on Windows. iOS 26.2 is now the minimum version that is still signed by Apple, and the first beta of iOS 26.3 is also available to developers and public beta testers.

iOS 26
iOS 26.2 was released last week. The update adds a Liquid Glass slider for the Lock Screen's clock, offline lyrics in Apple Music, and much more.

Too bad. 26.2 is still a ********, I see zero improvement.

one of those subtle (not so subtle if you frequent this site) hints that you don't really own your device. On a mac, I can install older versions given they're compatible. But I can't install older iOS versions?

Happy with my iOS 18 pure bliss. Every time I get that annoying notification to upgrade to iOS 26 I happily swipe it away.
