Is the ios 17.7 unsigned on iPhone 15? I want to downgrade from ios 18.1.

I upgrades to the latest ios which is 18.1 beta and I don't like it. I never made a backup when I was on the ios 17.7 so I want to downgrade back. I backed up everything into the icloud so when I downgrade my photos, video, and all my data will still be available and usable back on the 17.7?


Another question is, is the ios 17.7 ispw still signed on the iPhone 15?

iPhone 15, iOS 18

You cannot downgrade to iOS 17.7. You can exit the beta, but the only version you can go to is the current version of iOS 18, and if you have the 18.2 beta you can’t go to 18.1; you will have to wait for 18.2, whenever that comes.


If you have a backup of 18.1 you can restore that.


You can recover data that you synced to iCloud, but not data that you backed up to iCloud.
