This is a serious letdown in the Apple community, if Iphone 5 users that refuse to use the IOS 7, cannot update their devices to IOS 6.1.6, we will remain on the endangered list of users.
Apple needs to fix this issue for those of us who cannot update due to the many reasons given around the community.
I didn't want to update to IOS 6 from 5 and inadvertantly was updated and loss use of many of my favorite apps that no longer work on 6. I sure don't want that to happen again.
Yes. It does. And it supports iOS 7. You can only install the current version of iOS that's supported by your device. That would be 7.0.6. That's the way it works. You can not install 6.anything on an iPhone 4 any more.
You mean Apple is abusing its own security flaws to force everybody to accept new license conditions for ios 7 (except for some old devices) instead of providing a fix compatible to the installed operating system?
Sorry, I didn't meant to play the troll.
But you have to admit that this license story is a valid point. All these beta versions released for ios5, 6 or 7 show that Apple can support more than one operating system per device in parallel. Their software developers are surely sufficiently clever to verify their new ios version on all devices they have, not just the devices they allow their customers to use.
The only reason for not providing ios 6.1.6 without security flaw for the iphone5 is because Apple said so. This is not fair play.
Agree. Not fair play and not smart. Corporate exec types learn to rely on their iPhone apps AND interfaces for all kinds of business functions, and are reluctant to change everything they like for the sake of a "pretty" new design. Intentionally exposing their whole enterprises to SSL vulnerabilities because these users won't change to a less friendly interface is not only foul play on Apple's part, it's just a dumb business model.
IOS 6.1.6 are only for iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4th generation

Sorry, it isn't possible.
Why not? I thought 6.1.6 fixes a security problem with SSL. Is the iphone 4 or 5 more insecure than an old 3GS, making it necessary to move to IOS7?
Because you can't install iOS 6.anything on a device that supports iOS 7. That's why not.
Obviously this is not correct: The device already runs ios6.
No, they are merely operating the same way they have since the first iPhone was released.
You have your answer. If you don't like it, tell Apple. <edited by host>
if ((iOS <7.0) SSL_patch = null)
goto fail;
goto effed;
goto stockdrop;
