Apple stops signing ios 11.4.1 to avoid backing down

After the recent official release of iOS 12.0.1, the first iOS 12 update that occurred yesterday afternoon, Apple has also taken another step: stop signing iOS 11.4.1, the latest update to the previous operating system, with in order to prevent users from deciding to downgrade and stay in the current version that such good adoption results are having.

Apple stops the rollback to iOS 11

As we have learned through 9to5Mac, after the release of iOS 12.0.1, Apple has stopped signing iOS 11.4.1. With this change, users will no longer be able to return from iOS 12 to iOS 11, at least not officially.

Weeks after a launch, it is common for Apple to stop signing older versions of iOS, and this is exactly what the company has just done.

The good adoption figures for iOS 12, which is already installed in almost half of compatible active devices, will be reinforced to a certain extent with this decision that will avoid the temptation by some users who may be having problems.

At the moment, what is possible is the downgrade from iOS 12.0.1 (released yesterday) to iOS 12.0, although it is expected that Apple will also stop the first version of iOS 12 soon.

The new version iOS 12.0.1, released yesterday afternoon, focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements. In this sense:

• Fixes an issue where some iPhone XS devices would not start charging directly when connected to power while turned off. Addresses an issue that could cause iPhone XS devices to connect to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network instead of 5 GHz Restores the original position of the ".? 123" key on the iPad keyboard Fixes an issue where captions may not appear in some video applications Fixes a Bluetooth connectivity issue
