Today we will show you how you can downgrade iOS 14.5.1 and iPadOS 14.5.1 to iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 running on iPhone and iPad.
Apple is Signing iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5, Downgrade from iOS 14.5.1 and iPadOS 14.5.1 on iPhone and iPad Possible
Apple has stopped signing iOS 14.4.2 and iPadOS 14.4.2. This means you can no longer downgrade from iOS 14.5 / iPadOS 14.5 or iOS 14.5.1 / iPadOS 14.5.1 to the older firmware. But the good news is, you can downgrade to iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 if you like, as the signing window is still open, for now.
