I want to downgrade ios 12.1 beta one on my iPhone 5s to my last archived ios 10.3.3

iPhone 5s with iOS 12.1 beta


I am dissatisfied with iOS 12.1 beta and would like to revert back to my archived iOS 10.3.3


Must I restore the iOS to the recent non-beta iOS 12.1 before restoring my iPhone 5s to the my last archived iOS 10.3.3 or can I restore my iPhone 5s directly to my archived 10.3.3?


Thank-you very much and cordially

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

iOS 10.3.3 is no longer being signed (authorized) by Apple for your phone. You won't be able to install it. Note that the back up you made of your phone before installing the beta does not contain any version of iOS. The only option you have other than a beta version is iOS 12.1.

Hello IdrisSeabright,


Thank-you very much for your reply!


But I archived iOS 10.3.3 in the back up I made before I installed the iOS 12.1 beta version. I installed the beta version of iOS 12 to be able to go back to iOS 10.3.3 if I wasn't satisfied. Does this mean that my beta version is the only other version of iOS that I can have other than the recent beta 5 which is out now or the stable version of iOS 12.1? I hope not.


Kind regards,
