Get Familiar with the Downgrade Process

After iOS 10.3.2 is released you'll probably only have a few weeks to downgrade to the iOS 10.3.1 update. And that's precisely why we recommend getting comfortable with the downgrade process now. That way, you won't be scrambling.

For a limited time after the iOS 10.3.2 release, Apple will sign off on the iOS 10.3.1 update. This will leave a downgrade loophole open to all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. 

If you run into major issues on iOS 10.3.2, you might want to try downgrading to the iOS 10.3.1 update to see if that improves your device's performance. 

Unfortunately, time will be of the essence. Apple typically closes up the downgrade path two weeks or so after an update's release. And once the downgrade loophole is closed, there's no going back. You'll be stuck on iOS 10.3.2 until something new is released. 

So don't head into the iOS 10.3.2 release unprepared. Dig into the downgrade process, get familiar with it, and you'll be in a much better place if and when you need to use it.

    Unbelievable article!! Adam Mills, a journalism major, who bought an iPhone and iPad, has used them for a few years, is now smarter and more knowledgable than all the software engineers, programmers and managers thereof at Apple regarding software updates and new OS versions for your iPhone. Adam, do you really think Apple designs software updates without considering what impact it will have on current users? Your statement “Blindly installing iOS updates isn’t wise…”, is pompous and specious. People in the medical, engineering, legal, accounting, etc., fields that require prerequisite education and registrations get put in jail for masquerading as something they are not; because they are a danger to society. You fall into this category, however, because anyone that knows how to type can do what you do, unfortunately there are no laws against it.
    As I have asked you many times before, please get a job doing something you know about. IT is not that area!!
