Thank you so much, Aaron it worked. This was my first ever public beta I installed on my iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is my main phone. It worked pretty well barely any stutter however, the battery was a bit much for me so I reverted back. Thanks again.
did the battery get better after reverting? im on the iphone 13 and my battery life's reallyy getting impacted (the battery health is still the same at 100% tho), should i revert back?
@@zehrahminal8629 idk your scenario but mine goes as follows. My battery went back to the way it was after reverting. My capacity as it is, is 84%. It’s basically functioning how it was before I tried the beta. So yes I don’t regret going back to 17.6, cause iOS 18 public beta was draining my battery a lot faster.
I followed your steps on my iPhone 11 to downgrade to iOS 17 and it still has the iOS 18.1.1 and won't downgrade to the iOS 17. My eyes are absolutely killing me to look at my phone since this new software update. Do you know why the phone wouldn't restore to the iOS17?
Always backup your device before upgrading to iOS 18. This will allow you to easily restore your device to its previous state (iOS 17) if necessary. Backups created after upgrading to iOS 18 won't work for restoring to iOS 17.
Well, too late. I factory reset my iPhone 15 Pro after downloading to iOS 18, used a restore from Sept. 10 (that clearly was 17.6.1) and it just cheerfully did all that somehow on iOS 18. A complete waste of erasing all my data. And I’m stuck on the horrendous, unusable iOS 18.
Updated mine weeks ago. Bro!! Everytime I scroll up and down, it’s just laggy all the time! My battery percentage also drops down quickly, even not using my phone. Gosh! Terrible
Hi, you explain how to get the phone in recovery mode and after that (at 5:03)you skip to “ready to restore iphone”. I am on a Windows machine in itunes and have no clue how you got there. This is miserable, I can’t get to my stuff on both iphone and ipad. Can you please tell me how to get to that point?
could you maybe explain what happened when you were trying to downgrade? I'm gonna downgrade too but idk anything about this so like do you have any advice
Can you still do this after you back up your phone on iOS 18?? I didn’t back up my phone while I was using the previous version and now I’m scared I’m stuck. I absolutely hate this new update and don’t even wanna use my phone
Did you put your iCloud photos settings as "Optimise iPhone Storage" or "Download and keep originals", I did not back up my iOS 17 software so I'm pretty screwed and want to retain my photos in any way possible. Also, how do you download the photos back onto your phone, I swear this is such a pain in the ass but deserved because I didn't back it up
