Apple on Wednesday tweaked its software update servers by unsigning iOS & iPadOS 18.1.1, a move that now causes said servers to deny user requests to install these firmware versions on iPhones and iPads.
Apple on Tuesday officially stopped signing iOS & iPadOS 18.1, more than two weeks after releasing the newer iOS & iPadOS 18.1.1 firmware that was launched to guard users against “actively exploited vulnerabilities.”
Apple on Monday made the predictable move of unsigning the iOS & iPadOS 18.0.1 firmware, just one week after launching the iOS & iPadOS 18.1 software update that introduced some of the very first Apple Intelligence-oriented features to iPhone and iPad users alike.
Have you ever wished that there was an easier way to see what firmware was or wasn’t being signed for your iPhone or iPad in particular? Or perhaps you wanted some more detailed about your delayOTA options? If either of these sound like you, then a new Shortcut called Trinity by Dr Sauce might be just what you’re after.
Apple on Thursday stopped signing iOS & iPadOS 18.0, a move by the Cupertino-based company that will prevent anyone who made the jump to iOS & iPadOS 18.0.1 firmware last week from being able to downgrade to the original iOS & iPadOS 18 release.
As you may recall, Apple recently released two different versions of iOS & iPadOS 17.6.1. Both builds of this are now unsigned as of Monday afternoon, which ends Apple’s official support for downgrading to this particular firmware by way of iTunes on Windows or Finder on macOS.
Apple released iOS & iPadOS 17.6.1 just last week with important bug fixes and security improvements for iPhones and iPads alike. Unfortunately, Apple has also once again blockaded firmware downgrades by choosing to stop signing the previous firmware – iOS & iPadOS 17.6.
Just last Monday, Apple released iOS & iPadOS 17.6 to the general public with the express reasoning of introducing important bug fixes and security updates without the introduction of any new features for iPhone and iPad users.
Apple on Tuesday stopped signing iOS & iPadOS 17.5, just over a week after releasing iOS & iPadOS 17.5.1 to fix a frustrating bug where iPhone or iPad users may sometimes find deleted photographs surfacing in their Photos app.
We’ve been covering a project known as Semaphorin for the better part of two months now, and as a tethered blobless downgrade and jailbreak utility for certain checkm8 bootrom exploit-vulnerable devices running various versions of older firmware, it plays an important role in this community.
At the end of March, we shared with you the news about a new utility called Semaphorin, which is a tethered blobless downgrade, dual-boot, and jailbreak utility for certain checkm8 bootrom exploit-vulnerable devices.
You may recall that Apple recently started signing iOS & iPadOS 17.3.1 again for unknown reasons after initially unsigning it. In effect, this meant that iPhone and iPad users could downgrade to iOS & iPadOS 17.3.1 from newer firmware again because Apple’s online servers would have provided the green flag necessary to move forward with it.
