After issuing a new update, Apple, which prevented the return to previous versions, did not break the tradition in iOS 15. 2 either. This decision, which is taken to protect users against security vulnerabilities that may occur in old software, is usually implemented immediately after the release of the new version.
Apple released iOS 15.2, the second major upgrade to iOS 15, on Monday, December 13. At the same time, the operating system of the iPad has been upgraded to iPadOS 15.2. After 8 days, the company made a decision to make iOS 15. 2 mandatory on all supported devices, including the iPhone 13 series.
iOS 15. 1 and iOS 15. 1.1 stopped signing
Starting today, signing of iOS 15.1.1 for the iPhone 13 series and iOS 15.1 for all other older models that support it has been discontinued. Thus, the company has officially prevented its products on the market from reverting to an operating system older than iOS 15.2.
The said decision means that users who have upgraded their iPhone to iOS 15.2 will no longer be able to downgrade. However, it does not pose a disadvantage for iPhone owners who already have iOS 15.1 or iOS 15.1.1 installed on their phone. So if you haven’t installed the new update that was released on December 13, there is nothing to worry about.
Also, Apple has stopped signing iPadOS 15.1. This means that supporting iPad models cannot be officially downgraded to a version prior to iPadOS 15.2. Apple continues this strategy to protect users from attacks that could compromise their privacy and security. Thus, you can both stay on the most up-to-date version and have a safe operating system experience.
