IOS – Is it still possible to update the iPad from iOS 7.0.4 to IOS 7.1.2 and not to iOS 8

ios

Can i upgrade my iPad 2 iOS 7.0.4 to iOS 7.1.2 ? I dont want to install iOS 8. I'm afraid of the performance issues and jailbreak possibilities of my iPad 2 running on iOS 8.

Best Answer

Nope. It's not possible on any iPad or iPhone because Apple stops signing the older iOS versions after newer ones are released. It's impossible to upgrade to iOS 7.1.2

Three options you have right now

  • Upgrade to iOS 8.1 [download the firmware separately and update before Apple stops signing]
  • Upgrade to iOS 8.1.1 from iTunes
  • Stay on iOS 7.0.4

iOS 8.1 has jailbreak, so this could be your chance to upgrade before the window closes.
