Apple just this evening stopped signing iOS and iPadOS 15.1.1 (for the iPhone 12 and 13 lineups) and iOS and iPadOS 15.1 for all the rest of the company’s mobile devices after releasing iOS and iPadOS 15.2 just last week.
Apple released iOS 15.1.1 for the iPhone 12 & 13 lineups a couple of Mondays ago with an important bug fix pertaining to dropped phone calls. Although I hadn’t experienced this problem myself, it was obviously experienced by enough users that it warranted a resolution from the OEM.
Apple last Monday released iOS & iPadOS 15.1 to the general public following a lengthy beta testing period with a bevy of enhancements for the company’s mobile operating systems. Those enhancements comprised of SharePlay, support for COVID-19 vaccination cards in the Wallet app, an automatic macro toggle for the Camera app, and a plethora of bug fixes among other things.
Apple released iOS & iPadOS 15.0.2 the previous Monday with bug fixes and security improvements for most modern iPhones and iPads, and now that about a week has passed, the Cupertino-based tech company has closed the signing window for the older iOS & iPadOS 15.0.1 firmware.
Apple released iOS & iPadOS 15.0.1 on October 1st, marking the first update to the company’s new mobile operating systems with bug fixes. Notably, this update resolved a problem with Unlock with Apple Watch not working correctly with the brand-new iPhone 13 lineup – an exceptionally valuable feature amid a raging pandemic in which mask-wearing has become a common sight.
Now that some time has passed since Apple released iOS & iPadOS 15.0.1, it’s no surprise to see that Apple is closing the signing window for the original iOS & iPadOS 15.0 firmware that launched to the general public just two weeks prior.
A couple of Mondays ago, Apple officially released iOS & iPadOS 15 to the general public with a slew of new features for Apple’s mobile device lineup following an extensive beta period throughout the Summer months.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Apple’s move to launch a new firmware version for its platforms has now been complemented with the unsigning of the previously current firmware — iOS & iPadOS 14.8.
Are you done with the iOS 15 beta and want to switch back to the official public release? While leaving the beta program is quick and easy, you might be stuck with beta software for some time. We walk you through your options.
If you have been trying the latest watchOS 8 beta and want out of it, you basically have two possible roads ahead of you. In this post, we will share these two solutions and explain how to switch from watchOS beta to a public watchOS release.
Apple released iOS & iPadOS 14.8 last Monday to patch serious vulnerabilities that could have been weaponized by hackers to run malicious code on others’ iPhones and iPads via iMessage. Most owners of these devices were advised to update without hesitation, except perhaps jailbreakers, given the gravity of what these vulnerabilities could have entailed.
Now that it’s been a week since that software update, it may come as no surprise that Apple has officially closed the signing window for iOS & iPadOS 14.7.1, the firmware that pre-dated iOS & iPadOS 14.8.
In a somewhat predictable fashion, Apple closed the short-lived signing window for iOS & iPadOS 14.7 on Monday, almost one full week after unleashing iOS & iPadOS 14.7.1 upon the general public with important bug fixes and security patches for its mobile devices.
Following a lengthy beta testing period involving developers and volunteer participants, Apple officially released iOS & iPadOS 14.7 to the public last week with a long list of new features and improvements for iPhones and iPads alike. But no software update from Apple comes without the bitter aftertaste.
Just as Apple always does after releasing a major software update, the company closed the signing window for iOS & iPadOS 14.6, which makes it substantially more difficult for iPhone and iPad users to downgrade to the older firmware version if they’ve already updated the device(s) to iOS or iPadOS 14.7, or perhaps the newer yet iOS or iPadOS 14.7.1.
We recently published a guide on how to install the all new macOS 12 developer beta on your Mac. Now, if you aren't happy with the upgrade and have come across problems, you probably want to downgrade. As a beta, you may face issues with third-party apps, stability issues, and so on. The new macOS 12 brings several new features and improvements, but isn't a major leap in terms of user interface.
