New York, USA – Apple has officially announced that iPhone users will be prevented from reverting to previous versions of iOS. This move has sparked widespread debate among users and technology experts alike. The company confirmed that this new policy is part of its efforts to maintain device security. Furthermore, it aims to protect users from security vulnerabilities and technical issues associated with older versions.

Apple explained that any attempt to revert to previous iOS versions after the latest updates will be impossible. Therefore, users will be required to rely entirely on the latest versions of the system. This is for both security purposes and to take advantage of new features. Experts stated that this step may force some users to adapt to changes in the system interface. They may also have to deal with new features that some may find complex or different from previous versions.

In reactions on social media, many iPhone users expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision. They pointed out that some new updates may affect the performance of their older phones or cause battery and application problems. Conversely, others praised the move as necessary to enhance security and protect personal data. This move is part of Apple’s ongoing strategy to focus on digital security and regular updates. The company confirms that technical support and new features will only be available on the latest versions. In the same vein, the company aims to standardize the user experience and reduce technical risks.
