iOS 16: Complete Guide

This guide provides a clear overview of ios 16, including the main concepts, practical steps, and common questions. Use it to understand the topic, compare the available options, and make a more informed decision.

Basically, Apple only allows restoring data from a lower iOS version to a higher iOS version, not vice versa. Therefore, if you are on iOS 16 Developer BETA version, it is quite difficult to restore data in a lower iOS version. However, not without a way! And here is the guide for you.

Note: This method is also applicable in other iOS versions.

First, connect your iPhone (running a high version of iOS) to your computer, open iTunes and click "Back Up Now".

iTunes will proceed with the process of backing up iPhone data to the computer.

In the meantime, download the installation package for the lower iOS version from the "ipsw.me" page to your computer.

After the download is complete, which is also when the data backup is complete, proceed to Restore your iPhone to the lower official iOS version you downloaded above.

When the iPhone is in the Restore process, press the WIN R key combination to call up the RUN dialog box and enter the command "%appdate%", then press the ENTER key.

The File Explorer window appears, go to "C:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamingApple ComputerMobileSyncBackup", then access the nearest backup folder.

Find the file "Info.plist" and open it with Notepad or any other editing tool.

Find the data with the line "Product".

Change the "Product Version" line information to the iOS version that is the same as the iOS version you are restoring to your iPhone, then save.

Now you just need to do the restore process again after completing the Restore iPhone process without any hitch!

Good luck.
