7 articles • Started 9 months ago • Last updated 9 months ago

Apple halted signing of iOS 26.2 on February 3, preventing users from downgrading from the newly released iOS 26.2.1, which some users reported caused crashes, freezes, and severe battery drain. The company had initially stopped signing select iOS updates on January 28 due to connectivity issues affecting older iPhone models. Apple simultaneously released iOS 16.7.14 to address emergency calling problems on iPhone X and iPhone 8 in Australia, alongside security updates for macOS Catalina and Big Sur.
