Downgrade iOS 10.2 to iOS 10.1.1 on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch is possible today because last night Apple released iOS 10.2 for everyone. After 7 beta versions released for testing, Apple finally offers us iOS 10.2 with a multitude of changes that we can have right now in our own terminals, if we are interested in them.
If you have already installed iOS 10.2 and you are not satisfied with what it offers, then you can downgrade iOS 10.2 to iOS 10.1.1 because Apple still allows it. This possibility will not be available for a very long time, so if you are interested in going back to the previous version of the iOS 10.1.1 operating system, then I recommend that you do it right now.
There is a possibility that an iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak solution will be released, and it will not be compatible with iOS 10.2, so you have to think about it seriously. There is a chance that the iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak solution will be released after Apple will block the option to downgrade iOS 10.2 to iOS 10.1.1, so think carefully when you want to do everything.
Downgrade iOS 10.2 to iOS 10.1.1 on iPhone and iPad
Before downgrading iOS 10.2 to iOS 10.1.1, it is advisable to make a backup of the data in your terminals using iCloud or iTunes. That backup will not be usable in iOS 10.1.1, but you will be able to use it if you install iOS 10.2 or a higher version in the future, so it is very good to have them available.
- Download iOS 10.1.1.
- Connect your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch to your computer and open iTunes.
- Put your device into DFU Mode by following these steps: Press the Home and Lock buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds, release the Lock button, and hold only the Home button until iTunes recognizes the device, even if the screen remains blank.
- Holding down the Shift key on the keyboard (Windows) or Alt + Option (Mac), press the button Check for iTunes Update and the program will install the version chosen by you in your terminals.
- If option 4 does not work, use the button Restore and the procedure should work.
After completing this procedure, you will have iOS 10.1.1 installed on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and you will enjoy everything it has to offer. Of course, you can install iOS 10.2 back at any time, as long as Apple signs it, so you can also return to the latest version, or to a beta that Apple will make available to us.
