FED UP WITH iOS 7? HERE'S HOW TO DOWNGRADE TO THE OLD VERSION
Disgruntled iIOS 7 users can still downgrade to iOS 6.
9TO5mac have created a step-by-step guide for customers unhappy with their new-look phones.
Firstly it states users should check whether they can still downgrade as Apple usually stops approving old versions as soon as an update is released.
Currently,k iOS 6.1.3 is still being approved. To check visit here.
Users should click on their device. If there is a green mark next to it, it is still available. If not, Apple has stopped approving the version.
If still available, the user should then click on the link in the Download column on the same page to get the IPSW for the desired iOS.
Next, the user should open iTunes, plug in the device and hold down the Option key and click the restore button.
Apple servers with then be asked to approve the request and if approved the phone will be downgraded to iOS 6.
Users must then re-sync their media and apps.
However, 9TO5mac warns downgrading could mean a few headaches including not being able to use newer Apps and needing to back up the device again.
