Running Old iOS Versions
We were surprised to find out today that Apple is suddenly allowing users to downgrade their operating systems. If you have an older iPhone or an older iPad and were always a big fan of the older iOS and wished you had never upgraded your device, this may be your window of opportunity.

It appears that this was a mistake at Apple. The window of opportunity only lasted a few hours. They have stopped signing older iOS versions now.
It’s a little frustrating that enabling the installation of older iOSes is a switch that Apple can [accidentally] flick at will, yet developers asked for firmware downgrades for years to set up test devices 🤷 (I know, testing is an alien concept to current Apple… 🙃)
Our Corellium Hypervisor for ARM enables us to run virtual iPhones in the cloud with game-changing features like:
- Run any version of iOS
- On demand thread list & kernel backtrace
- Optional jailbreak for any version
- Web-based debugging
- And much more!
Did they get a special license from Apple to do this?
