The iPhone 14 is a high-end flagship phone officially launched by Apple some time ago. The hardware configuration of this phone is equipped with a full blooded A15 processor with stronger performance than the iPhone 13 phone. In addition, the latest IOS 16 system released by Apple, which can be said to be popular with a large number of domestic consumers. However, many users find that there are many bugs in IOS 16 after they get it, and they want to downgrade the system to IOS 15. Do you know if it is possible?

Can iPhone 14 be downgraded

Can I downgrade iPhone 14

Yes

1. Before operation, the data of the whole machine shall be backed up to avoid data loss due to unexpected circumstances.

2. The data backed up by iOS 16 cannot be restored to iOS 15 system. If you do not create a backup before installing the beta version of iOS 16, it is recommended to continue using the iOS 16 Beta.

3. Data degradation cannot be guaranteed.

Note: This method is mainly used for users who have upgraded the iOS 16 system and want to downgrade to the iOS 15.6 system perfectly. If you have a white apple on your iPhone and have iTunes backup before, you can also use this method to restore data.

First, we need to download and install Apple's iTunes application on the computer. If not, please download and install it on Baidu. After installation, open iTunes, connect iPhone to the computer, and back up iPhone with iTunes. When backing up, choose to back up to this computer, and remember the backup time.

After the backup is completed, we need to find the backup folder on the computer first,

Win7 default backup location: C: Users computer username AppData Roaming AppleComputer MobileSync Backup\

Win10 Default backup location: C: user admin AppData Roaming AppleComputer MobileSync Backup\

Find the latest backup file according to the backup time (for example, I selected this file for backup at 9:53 am on June 10), double-click to open the folder, drag down to find info.plist, right click the file, and select Notepad to open it.

Use the keyboard shortcut key "Ctrl+F" in Notepad to call out the search box, enter "Product Version" to find the file location, change "16.0" to "15.6", close Notepad, and select Save. As shown in the figure:

Note: If you cannot find the info.plist file, click View at the top of the folder first -- check the "Hidden Items" on the right.

After modifying the backup file, the next step is very simple. Just open the Aisi Assistant, download the official version of iOS 15.6 system firmware on the smart browser page, and then directly select the regular quick browser (Note: Do not select the security data browser, which is prone to white apples).

Wait until the iPhone is refreshed. After the iPhone reaches the activation interface, we can open iTunes, click Restore Backup, select the backup file that has just been modified, and wait until the backup is complete.

After that, we open the iPhone again, and all the data can be completely restored, including photos, address books, WeChat/QQ chat records, etc. Even WeChat does not need to log in again, and you can chat with friends by opening it directly.

The above is an introduction about whether the iPhone 14 can be downgraded. Users can use the above method to complete the downgrade through the data version on the official website. For fear that their operation mistakes will lead to White Apple's partners, they can go to Apple's offline stores to consult the staff or ask the staff to help you complete the downgrade operation!
