Apple Stops Signing iOS 14 Following iOS 14.0.1 Release, Downgrading No Longer Possible

Apple released iOS 14.0.1 last Thursday, September 24, and as is traditional, Apple has now stopped signing iOS 14, making downgrading to that version of iOS no longer possible.

iOS 14.0.1 was a bug fix update that fixed the following issues:

  • Fixed an issue that could cause default browser and mail settings to reset after restarting your ‌iPhone‌
  • Addressed an issue that could prevent camera previews from displaying on ‌iPhone‌ 7 and ‌iPhone‌ 7 Plus
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent your ‌iPhone‌ from connecting to Wi-Fi networks
  • Resolved an issue that could prevent sending an email with some mail providers
  • Addressed an issue that could prevent images from appearing in the News widget

Apple is known to routinely stop signing older versions of operating systems after it releases a public update, as part of an effort to encourage users to keep their devices’ operating systems up to date.
