Mismatched Trust Store Version on iOS 16.5

I’m currently on iOS 16.5 and my trust store version is 2023032800. According to Apple, the current Trust Store version for iOS 16, is 2022070700. Why is mine different??

If you are referring to this article where they are referring to iOS 16 and not iOS 16.5 --> List of available trusted root certificates in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16, and watchOS 9 - Apple Support (IN)


iOS 16, 16.3, and 16.5 have different Store Versions and Asset Versions. Please go through my entire post


This is the correct trust store version for iOS 16.5 - 2023032800. Please see the pic below on iOS 16.5 iPhone 12 Pro.

It all started for me in 2018 as well. That is weird ha? In May 2018. I agree with your Bluetooth issues. My Bluetooth has turned on a lot on its own. One day you would not believe this. I had gone through several phones in the first month of this happening while in Hollywood and I had them all in my car. I took the SIM cards out after realizing none would work correctly. What made the hacking so obvious for me was not being able to get real information on the web. The web used to work perfectly for me. Whatever I needed to know I could. But after they compromised my phone, I have not for the most part been able to get correct information again. That to me is the most annoying thing! Anyway so I took my sims out and powered down the iPhones , androids, iPads, etc. In the morning I was driving home from LA and all at once every single phone , iPad everything all turned on at once. I realized then how sophisticated this was. How it must be? . I mean who else could do these things? Who do you think it is? That is when I ripped the gps off my dash and threw it out the window. I didn’t go home that day as planned. I went to San Francisco. I was trying to escape these people. I really wonder why I was put in this list of people who are doomed. It’s only a matter of time till we loose it.

As this has been ongoing since 2018, please consider exactly what you expect to happen differently here, now, today, many, many years later, across many substantial software upgrades, and undoubtedly multiple detailed discussions. You’ve already considered and acted upon the various feedback received, have secured your environment and your Apple ID appropriately per the feedback, and you are exceedingly unlikely to get a different or new suggestion here, now, years onward. Whatever is special or different in your cases is not getting resolved with these discussions. You can, of course, continue to repeat the same failed strategy with these discussions of course, but we all know what will likely happen here, this time, again. We all know not expect a different outcome.

In answer to your question, no I have not. I looked up some of your keywords on Apple, and found a lot (even excess) of information, with links to more info, such as AAA certificate (it’s a valid cert per Apple). The current Cert number based on OS is also listed in Apple. Mine does not match but I don’t know why.

But I could not figure out what AAA is used for exactly it’s used for on Apple. There was a mention of APIs, and other things related to push notifications, email and more. That did sound like developer info, but don’t take my word on this. The APIs per Apple appear to be related to push notifications, a few are listed. I understand I can’t post links on here, so

I’d suggest searching Apple and include keywords. Some very technical people have responded such as MrHoffman and IdrisSeabright, they both have resolved many questions based on posted profile numbers. But no resolutions to date. Curious, why do you think you are in developers? I’ve heard that before and don’t know how to tell. If I ever find the answer, I will post it, provided it’s within guidelines. BTW, one of my Trust Store numbers start with 2022, per Apple site, it says IOS 17 should start with 2023? I have/had several devices, one is rather old, another purchased last year, both start with 2022.

Do you have a question?


2015111600 is the expected and very old trust store version for that very old iOS 9 version.


Old enough that I’d expect issues with the LetsEncrypt certificates too, absent local updates manually added for that.


If you’re concerned about security, an iPad that old, with an iOS version that old, has other and probably larger security issues.

Face ID issues


For assistance with Face ID: If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support


If you have gone through that sequence without resolution, then your iPhone or iPad TrueDepth hardware may have failed, and you’re headed for a repair or replacement if you want Face ID working again. Contact Apple Support, and discuss your options and alternatives.


The certificate trust store discussed in this thread is entirely unrelated to Face ID.

How can I update iOS iPhone 6plus I will try many times


iPhone 6 Plus is supported with iOS 12, and no later. Currently, that’s iOS 12.5.7.


If you have apps requiring more recent iOS versions, you’ll need a newer (used, refurb) or new iPhone.


iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone SE 2nd, and later, are supported on iOS 17. Currently, that’s iOS 17.4.1.

Normal for certain older iOS versions.


Either an iPhone 6 or earlier and that usually on iOS 12.5.7 as iOS 12 is the last supported version, or that’s an iPhone or iPad with some iOS updates available.


Apple has doc posted for this trust store:
