IOS 18.5 has been available for several days now. The update is clearly not the scale of iOS 18.4, which finally allowed French owners of recent iPhone to take advantage of Apple Intelligence. This does not mean that IOS 18.5 does not embark on interesting new things. The update makes the screen time function or email in particular while providing important security fixes. Note that if you have already installed iOS 18.5, you cannot return to iOS 18.4.1. Apple comes to stop signing this version of its operating system.
Apple no longer signs iOS 18.4.1, what changes for users?
Apple stopped signing iOS 18.4.1 This Monday, May 19. Users who have already installed iOS 18.5 can therefore return to this version. The apple brand stops signing an old version of iOS about a week after the release of an update. Do not worry, you have the most recent and secure version of the iPhone operating system. Apple’s decision should therefore not be negatively impacting you.
Why Apple stops signing iOS 18.4.1?
The Cupertino firm never officially indicates why it stops signing an old version of iOS. We still know that the American company seeks to protect its users by preventing them from installing obsolete versions of iOS which are not as safe. It is also a means of preventing jailbreak by computer hackers from less protected iOS versions.
The demotion process is often used by hackers and Apple knows that. Let us hope all the same that Apple takes into account the returns of users concerning the bugs caused by iOS 18.5. The impossibility of returning to iOS 18.4.1 puts people impacted in an inextricable situation. Recall that Apple will present a brand new version of its operating system in a few days during WWDC 2025: iOS 19.
