Apple released iOS 13.6.1 to all users a week ago. Now the company has stopped signing iOS 13.6.
Apple released iOS 13.6.1 for all users on August 12th and fixed some bugs fixed. After just one week, the signing of iOS 13.6 has now been officially stopped. When Apple stops signing an iOS version, this means that users are no longer able to upgrade to the previous version via PC or Mac. Like other iOS updates, iOS 13.6.1 also brings a number of security improvements by fixing various vulnerabilities. Such security gaps make devices vulnerable and also enable jailbreaking. For this reason, Apple is stopping signing older iOS versions. In iOS 13.6, CarKey was introduced and a new category called “Symptoms” was created in the Health section. Update has also fixed some bugs. Below you will find the update description. (Photo by hadrian / Bigstockphoto)
