iPhone 4s iOS 9.0.1 Update: 10 Important Details

You Can Downgrade to iOS 9.0 or iOS 8.4.1

You Can Downgrade to iOS 9.0 or iOS 8.4.1

If you're already on iOS 9.0.1, it's worth knowing that you can, for the moment, drop back down to one of two older iOS updates. This lets you trial the iOS 9.0.1 update to see how it performs on your version of the iPhone 4s. 

Apple is still signing off on iOS 8.4.1 and iOS 9.0 which means that you can use a loophole to downgrade to either one of them. You can't drop back down to anything older than those though.

We've put together a guide that will help you downgrade if you need to. Apple typically closes the loophole up after a week or two so you'll need to move quickly.

    Sadly, I did not review this site before going for the update. I’ve never had a problem with an iOS version update before But this time my phone has completely crashed. After sitting for 4+ hours downloading this update all I can get is a picture on the screen of a plug, with an arrow pointing to an itunes icon. I hooked it back up to iTunes; It tries to restart the update but errors out, telling me it needs to be reset to factory setting and then restore. Finally I’ve given up trying to complete the update and tried to restore to factory settings and I’m not having any luck with that either. Almost 2 hours now to try and reset to factory settings and it is not looking good. I know I’m not “updating” my iPad with this mess. Ideas please?

      Me too! I haven’t had any issues with my phone until this update. I had to do the factory reset as well and lost over 5,000 pics, songs, etc…
      I’m now trying to troubleshoot fixing my bluetooth, which stopped working after this “update.”

    I got the same problem this morning. Open itunes, making sure it is the latest update. Connect the iphone 4s, and there is a message coming out saying to upgrade or restore. I choose upgrade, and it started to download the software, after that it ask again to upgrade or restore, I choose upgrade, and it go on to upgrade. Waiting for quite a while until the iphone finally rebooting. Thank God! However, it is very slow indeed.

    Downgrade your software back to 8.4.1 if you can. I have a 4s and a 6 plus. There is def a performance issue on both with apps freezing but even more so clear as day on the 4s. I downgraded back to 8.4.1 and both phones are back to blazing fast speeds.
