Having released new updates, Apple, as usual, continues to stop signing for its older versions. This move for user security is being implemented a few weeks after the release of a new update. Apple, which has finally released the iOS 15.1 update, has now stopped signing the iOS 15.0.2 version.
The iOS 15.0.2 update was released about three weeks ago with various bug fixes. Recently, the iOS 15.1 update has been released and it has come with various improvements again. Now, Apple has stopped signing iOS 15.0.2 a few weeks after it released the new version.
Signing of iOS 15.0.2 has been stopped
The iOS 15.0.2 update did not come with any new features. With this update, the company has fixed an issue where some AirTag and MagSafe units cannot connect the iPhone Leather Wallet to the application. In addition, an october that caused photos saved from Messages to disappear from user libraries was also eliminated.
The iOS 15.1 update released last week allowed users to add several features, such as SharePlay and Wallet support for verifiable Covid-19 cards.
The appearance of the new update is a harbinger of the cessation of signatures for the old version. Therefore, with iOS 15.1, users will no longer be able to convert to an older version. Apple has been implementing this strategy for many years in order to protect customers' privacy and security from attacks that will compromise it. In this way, users have a more secure operating system experience while staying in the most up-to-date version.
