Apple bars downgrades to iOS 14.0.1 following launch of iOS 14.1
In a rather unsurprising move, Apple closed the signing window for iOS & iPadOS 14.0.1 Tuesday evening, one full week after unleashing iOS & iPadOS 14.1 to the general public to introduce various bug fixes and improvements for the company’s user base.
