A Apple stopped signing a version 17.2.1 do iOS. In other words, anyone who has their device updated to the latest software variant will no longer be able to downgrade to a lower version. Currently, the most recent is the 17.3which brought a new security function to protect cell phones that are stolen.
It is worth remembering that this is not an unusual action by Apple, which always fails to sign versions inferior to its most current system. The movement is a way of ensuring that users always keep their devices with the most up-to-date version of the operating system.
In other words, the same has already happened with several other versions of iOS, such as 17.1, when 17.1.1 was released. The situation also happened with iOS 16.6.1 when 17.0.3 was available in its definitive version. Along with iOS 17.2.1, version 17.2 of iPadOS was also no longer signed by the company.
It is worth mentioning that versions 15.8 and 16.7.4 of the iOS and iPadOS systems are also no longer signed by Apple. Therefore, devices that don’t run iOS 17 won’t be able to downgrade in the same way.
