How to downgrade my iPhone to an old iOS? I updated my phone about a week ago and since then there has been so many issues including having my screen go crazy with it thinking I’m touching everything, poor battery performance, and just not functioning. I have an older phone and I know that it would be profitable for apple to create demand by destroying phones in updates but this is ridiculous. Is there anyway I can “downgrade” to an old iOS? I should probably just switch to another company if I plan to keep a phone for more than 5 years going forward if I can’t. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

You don't. Apple has never supported downgrading from one production version of iOS to a lower one.
