Any guesses on how much longer 12.4.1 will be signed? How quickly has Apple stopped signing the prior version of iOS after a new whole-number version was released?

If I remember correctly, Apple supports the previous version of the OS for generally a month longer from the day the next version comes out.

Missed that yesterday, thanks. Was on the fence about returning 11 Pro Max and buying a new XS Max (last year's phone at this year's prices) so I could run 12.4.1. I guess if I do that now I'll do the more sensible thing and buy a used XS Max and make sure it's got 12.4 or 12.4.1 on it. 13 is simply a trainwreck...

Apple just stopped signed the iOS 12.4.1. Downgrade no longer possible for now, until someone figured out how to use that bootrom exploit.

I am happy iOS 12.4.1 camper, won’t update to iOS 13. Keeping iOS 12.4.1 on iPhone 7, 8, XR forever.
Same here.
