Apple stops signing iOS 14.0, halting downgrades from iOS 14.0.1

Anthony Bouchard ∙ October 1, 2020

One week after officially releasing iOS & iPadOS 14.0 to the general public, Apple launched its first update for the new mobile operating system in the form of iOS & iPadOS 14.0.1 with minor usability bug fixes. As we approach one week after the release of the aforementioned update, it may not come as much of a surprise to most iPhone and iPad users that Apple has unsigned iOS 14.0 this evening.

When Apple unsigns a firmware, they are effectively preventing users from downgrading to that specific version of firmware. This means that anyone who updated to iOS 14.0.1 will not be able to go back to iOS 14.0 if they are, for any reason, unsatisfied with the latest update.
