How to Downgrade from the iOS 18 Beta to iOS 17

If you installed iOS 18 Beta or iPadOS 18 Beta through Apple’s Developer Program or Software Beta Program, you may decide you want to downgrade because of usability or stability issues. Keep reading to learn how it’s done.

Apple’s beta versions of its major software updates can be notoriously buggy, especially the early releases. You may find apps not working properly, poor battery life, device crashes, and features that don’t do what they’re supposed to. Fortunately, you can restore your iPhone or iPad to the previous version of iOS.

If you made an archived backup before you installed the iOS 18 beta, you can remove the ‌beta and restore the backup. If you didn’t make a backup, you can still downgrade, but you won’t be able to restore your device to its original state before you upgraded. Also, bear in mind that if you’ve installed watchOS 11 on your Apple Watch, you won’t be able to use it with your ‌iPhone‌ once you’ve gone back to iOS 17. And downgrading an Apple Watch to a previous version of watchOS can’t be done manually either – if you want to remove ‌watchOS 11‌, you’ll have to send your watch in to Apple.

How to get your iPhone ready for repair

In iOS 17.5, Apple added a “Repair State” feature that’s designed to allow an iPhone to be sent in for service without having to deactivate Find My and Activation Lock. Keep reading to learn how it works and why it’s worth using the next time you send an ‌iPhone‌ in for repair.

Before iOS 17.5 was released, sending an ‌iPhone‌ to Apple for repair required disabling ‌Find My‌, since Apple states that it “might not” repair devices with ‌Find My‌ activated. However, disabling ‌Find My‌ also turns off Activation Lock, a crucial security feature that prevents unauthorized use of an ‌iPhone‌ with a different Apple ID.

Apple relies on ‌Find My‌ and Activation Lock to verify device ownership and prevent theft. When ‌Find My‌ is turned off, the ‌iPhone‌ cannot be tracked and is vulnerable to theft during the repair process. Also, if the device is lost or stolen in transit, it cannot be recovered. Worse, turning off ‌Find My‌ involves a one-hour delay, which prolongs the repair process.

To avoid ‌Find My‌ deactivation, Apple in iOS 17.5 introduced a new “Repair State” feature that allows ‌Find My‌ to remain active, keeping Activation Lock enabled and the ‌iPhone‌ trackable through the ‌Find My‌ app during repairs. When the feature is enabled, the device will display a “Ready for Repair” label, indicating that it remains fully functional in this state.
Get Ready for iPhone Repair
Before enabling the Repair State feature on your ‌iPhone‌, there are also a couple of other recommended steps to perform prior to sending your device to Apple. First and foremost, you should back up your ‌iPhone‌. You can back up your device either to your computer or via iCloud.

In addition, for security reasons you should remove any cards and passes from Apple Wallet: Open the Wallet app, select a card or pass, tap the More button, then tap Card (or Pass) Details. Lastly, tap Remove Card (or Pass).

When you’ve performed the above steps, you’re ready to enable Repair State:
