As per title thread, does anybody know? Can't seem to find anything about it on Google. Found a page that has older ipsws for download but the latest iOS 16.7.7 seems like it's only for iPhone 8 and X.


I don't want to upgrade to iOS17 for various reasons.

The last version of iOS 16 is irrelevant now if you’re not already running it. The only versions of iOS currently being signed by Apple, and thus installable on that device, are 17.3.1, 17.4, 17.4.1.

If you are currently running an older version of iOS 16 (which is where I think this question is going), you CANNOT update to the latest released version of iOS 16. You can only update to the latest version of iOS 17.

Yes, your only choice for iOS 16 is an iP8, iP8 Plus, or an iPX. IPSW to update with iOS 16 is no longer signed by Apple for any iPhone, except those 3 models.

No, there’s no way to install anything other than the 3 versions of iOS I listed in the 3rd reply of this thread.
