Apple no longer signing iOS 12.3-12.3.2, hindering downgrades from iOS 12.4
Apple is no longer signing iOS 12.3, 12.3.1, or 12.3.2 for its mobile device lineup as of Wednesday evening, a move that prevents users from restoring to any firmware version older than iOS 12.4, which was released to the general public just last Monday.
