Downgrading to iOS 6 from 7?
So, I recently bought an iPhone 4S because I didn't want to mess with the different charging port with the 5, 5C, and 5S. It came with iOS 6.1.2, I don't know why. I'm having a really hard time deciding whether to update to iOS 7 or not. I understand I can't "downgrade" to 6 again if I don't like it, but is it possible to get around that if I create a backup of my iOS 6, restore the phone, and put the backup back on? Will it be 6?
No. You can't downgrade your iOS. Backups only back up the data (apps, notes etc) not the operating system.
- Lost all downloaded apps from iPhone downgrading from iOS 7 Beta? Before I upgraded, I manually backed up my iPhone on my mac. I needed to downgrade after upgrading, so I opt+clicked restore iPhone and selected the correct firmware, 6.1.4 (for my iPhone 5). I loaded up the iPhone and restored from my previous backup. When I loaded up my phone, there were no apps on it that didn't come with the device! Does anyone know what went wrong or how to get all of the apps and their previous data back? It would help me beyond belief!
- Is it possible to Lose iCloud Activation lock by Downgrading to iOS 6 on iPhone 4? I have a iCloud locked iPhone 4 which was factory unlocked. I hacktivated it using win SCP and now the sim won't work. So i thought why not downgrade to a version when Activation Lock wasn't even created. That way i will have a fully working iPhone on iOS 6 right? Is that possible?
