At the press conference in September this year, Apple not only brought a new IOS 16 system to Guangda fans, but also introduced a new series of iPhone 14 models. The iPhone 14 Pro is one of them. It not only has the latest A16 processor, but also is equipped with the IOS 16 system in the first launch. But many people think that there are many bugs in the IOS 16 system now, so they want to downgrade to IOS 15. Now let's let the small editor introduce the method of downgrade in detail!

Can iPhone 14 Pro be downgraded

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 iPhone 14 Pro is essentially the iPhone 13 Pro, but it has a new experience. As part of the upgrade, Apple's flagship smartphone has a brighter new screen, with pill shaped incisions on the top instead of bangs, which can accommodate front facing cameras and face ID related hardware.

The screen supports the function of always on, and gets an interactive interface around the area called dynamic island, which turns the original blank area into an active point on the screen. In addition to the new screen and its related features, the phone also features a new 48 megapixel main camera sensor in the rear three camera system.

In general, the downgrade process of the iPhone 14 pro is quite complicated. Users should complete data backup before the downgrade. If they are really worried about White Apple, we suggest that users wait patiently for a while. I believe Apple will fix these bugs for you as soon as possible in the subsequent version updates!
