Luckily, all the best iPhones work fantastically on iOS 16, so you'll be fine for a few months until the iOS 17 public beta comes out, or if you've got enough patience, you'll even be able to wait for the official release in the fall. It was fun while it lasted, right? Trying out new software like iOS 17 is a blast until you face issues like not being able to open your banking app because the software is still in development.Īs long as you backup before updating to betas, you shouldn't ever have an issue going back to older software - that is, until Apple stops signing off older software and you're stuck in the present. If you've made any major changes since then, and they don't sync back some other way, you may have to repeat them to get back to exactly where you were before downgrading. Once the restore is complete, your iPhone should be back to where it was before you installed the new software. Choose the archived backup you made before installing the beta software update.Select Restore from this backup in Finder.That's where the archived backup you made prior to installing the new software comes in.
