Downgrade to IOS 15

Just wondering, is it possible to downgrade from iOS 16 to iOS 15?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to downgrade iOS, but...


iOS 15 is closed to all models that support iOS 16. It is possible to downgrade in the short period of time between an update being released and until Apple stops signing it.


Ex. iOS 16.3.1 is released, you update the same day. But immediately you experience an error, you can usually manage to downgrade back (in this case) to iOS 16.3.


So it is possible to downgrade. But only between two versions, and only for a very short time.
