After the release of ios 11.3, apple stops signing ios 11.2.6

Apple continues its fast pace of software updates, either to introduce new features or to correct detected errors, and at the same time, it persists in its effort to ensure that all users have our iPhone and iPad devices updated to the latest official version from iOS. Therefore, just a week after the release of iOS 11.3, Apple has stopped signing iOS 11.2.6.

iOS 11.3, the only version of iOS you can have

Despite the fact that the jailbreak has been losing popularity over the years and today, few of us pay the slightest attention to it, Apple has maintained a fast pace of iOS updates, while it stopped signing versions passed so that, in this way, it could not be downgraded , at least not officially.

And continuing with the established standard, as we have been able to read on MacRumors, after the recent launch of iOS 11.3, Apple has stopped signing iOS 11.2.6, the immediately previous version of iOS for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, which was available to users. And what does this mean exactly?

The fact that Apple has stopped signing said version of its mobile operating system implies that all those users who have updated their devices to iOS 11.2.6 will no longer be able to switch to previous versions of iOS. That is, at present, iOS 11.3 is the only official version possible, except for those older devices that no longer support updating.

Apple stops signing previous versions of software updates after new versions are released in order to "push" users to keep their devices up-to-date.

Thus, iOS 11.3 is now the only version of iOS 11 that the general public can install on iOS devices, although developers and users enrolled in the company's public beta program can already download and test the preview version of iOS 11.4.
