What’s up guys, welcome back to the Tenorshare Channel.
The new iOS 16 beta has been released, and it comes with a lot of new features. So I
know many of you guys are rushing to upgrade. However, while running the beta version of
iOS 16, your iPhone may get laggy and buggy. You may want to go back to the stable version
of iOS 15.5. So, in today's tutorial, I’ll show you how to safely remove your device
back to iOS 15.5 without any data loss. Let’s dive in!
Method 1-Downgrade with iTunes Before downgrading your iPhone, you need to
back up your data on your pc first. Plug your iPhone into the PC. Open the latest iTunes,and
go to the summary page, select This Computer as the location, then click Back Up to create
a local backup. If you already backup before, you can skip this step. Once done, the next
important thing is to turn off Find My iPhone in settings.
Okay,what we'll do next is go to ipsw.me. Here we can find the re-installation files
for all Apple devices. Select the iPhone section and then select
the model you’re using. On this page, you can see the latest iOS 15
firmware, click on it. Then you can see the details right here, so
go ahead and click download.
Then go back to iTunes, find the restore iPhone option, press the shift key and click Restore
iPhone at the same time. It will pop up a window, select the firmware
you just downloaded and click open. It says iTunes will erase and restore your
phone to iOS 15, choose Restore button, then you can start reinstalling iOS 15.
Once it is completed, you should see the hello screen.
If you find it difficult to use iTunes, ReiBoot will be a nice alternative.
Method 2-Downgrade your iPhone with ReiBoot I recommend ReiBoot because it can Repair
more than 150 iOS system problems. I've put the download link below.
Open ReiBoot, and click reset device below. Then proceed to click the factory reset.
On this page, you can directly download the firmware you need. But if you’ve already
downloaded it, click import local firmware, then choose the iOS 15 IPSW file we downloaded,
ReiBoot will detect it immediately, then you can start downgrading.
It's super easy, right? When the process is complete, let’s go ahead
and set it up. Remember when you get to the Apps&Data screen,
choose Don’t transfer Apps&Data. Well done, We successfully downgraded to iOS
15.
The following is the part about restoring backups.
Before we go any further with the restoration. Since the backup we created on iOS 16 is not
compatible with the official version of iOS 15.5.
So we need to make some changes to the backup so that it can be assimilated.
Press WIN+R key, type %appdata% and hit OK.
Now we are going to Apple computer, mobile sync.
If you don’t see the Backup folder here, please type in %userprofile% instead,
Then go to Apple, MobileSync, open the Backup folder.
Judged by the last modified time, this should be the backup we created just before.
Let’s get inside the folder. Scroll down and and find the info.plist file.
Open it up with the notepad. Press control and F to launch the search tool.
And search for the word product.
Click Find Next, you will see the version of this data is 16.0. What we are going to
do is change it to iOS 15.0 and save it.
Then go back to your iPhone, and make sure find my is still disabled at this point. Then
let’s connect the device, open iTunes and click on restore backup. Select the one we
just modified. Click restore.
iTunes will start restoring all your data from the backup.
When the restore is complete, we will see the Hello screen again.
After some setup, we can go to the home screen, and let's check out.
As you can see, everything we have previously is back on the device now.
So that's today's tutorial on how to remove/uninstall iOS 16 beta from iPhone.
