How do I undo my update to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4?

I had the most recent update on my phone and loved it. I decided to give iOS6 a try and I hate it. I feel my phone is running slower and I hate how it looks. I desperately want to unupdate, lol. Help Please!

iPhone 4, iOS 6

Oh no. Yea I don't like the gray at the top, I don't like the white screen on the number pad when calling someone, it's bland. Also I had an app that I could save pics from and it would save in my photo gallery, but now that doesn't work. Also....I know my phone is running slower and things crash that didn't used to.


There really needs to be an option on the computer on iTunes that allows you to go back to last upgrade.

I love your lil avatar (bad *** man right there) but not so fond of your response. I shouldn't have to deal with it....I don't pay my bill to dislike something. While I understand there are lots of great things about the upgrade and that many will like it there will be people that are happier with iOS5. Just think it would be a great option to offer to be able to go back. Or customize what you want from the new OS.


That's all. Thanks to those of you who had ideas.


And silva....I've been looking. I found one but it was all find old firmware, put on computer, ctrl and blah blah, then save this, Yatta Yatta. Didn't seem user friendly. I'll keep looking :) thanks

I would say don't just learn to live with it... If nobody brings these issues up then nothing will ever be changed. I like the iOS 6 but the white dial pad on the phone app is in need of improvement. So, original poster, I wouldn't go as far as "unupdating", but give feedback regarding the aesthetic deficiencies.
