iOS 11.2.6 downgrading to iOS 11.2.5 on iPhone and iPad is possible at the moment because Apple still signs the old version of the operating system, but for a limited period of time. Of course, no one knows how long this will last, but considering the way things have unfolded so far, it is possible that we can do this process for at least 1 week before Apple decides to close it.
iOS 11.2.6 downgrade to iOS 11.2.5 could only be done in the next few days, until the Apple company decides to completely block this procedure, those from Cupertino doing this regularly. After the signing of iOS 11.2.5 will be blocked by the Apple company, the downgrade will be impossible, so if you don't take advantage of the opportunity now, it is impossible to downgrade in the future, so I recommend you to hurry as much as you can .
iOS 11.2.6 downgrade to iOS 11.2.5 can only be done with iTunes, but this will erase all data from your phones. If you made a backup with iCloud or iTunes in iOS 11.2.6, then it will NOT be able to be used in iOS 11.2.5, so the downgrade will leave you without all the data from the phones, but if you still have any old backups in iOS 11 available in computers, or iCloud, you will return to the data.

- 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. If you have an iPhone 7, follow this tutorial. If you have an iPhone 8/X, you must turn off the phones, press the Power/Lock button for 3 seconds and without letting go, press the Volume Down button and keep them pressed until the phone is recognized by the computer and iTunes. If the iTunes icon and a Lightning cable appear on the screen, you must repeat the procedure, entering DFU Mode with the screen off.

iOS 11.2.6 will be uninstalled, and iOS 11.2.5 will be active in your phones, but of course you can return to iOS 11.2.6 whenever you want through the Software Update system.
