Re: For People wanting to downgrade back to 7.1.2
Hi if you would like to down grade your I device back to 7.12 from 8 can you send the link on how to do this? If this even can be done. I have A friend who is having problems with 8 and would like to if they can go back to 7.12. So if you can help that would be great.

RE: For People wanting to downgrade back to 7.1.2
Anthony, In the case of iOS 8 I could think of quite a few reasons. If somebody is not very tolerant when it comes to dealing with bugs and they rely heavily on using a bluetooth keyboard for example this would be a valid reason. Yes, new softsware (and old software) will always have some bugs, but it is definiterly true that iOS 8 at this point has more than we are used to. It is also true that a number of blind beta testers have let Apple know about Voiceover related bugs as far back as June when the first beta came out and some of the issues which were reported 3 months ago have not been fixed. I hope people are not only complaining but do take the time to write to accessibil...@apple.com to report bugs they encounter and that the increase in these reports will finally put Apple into action and they will start to fix the problems.

Re: For People wanting to downgrade back to 7.1.2
Hi, To find the model number of your device without sighted help: 1. Navigate to settings general about. 2. Find the serial number and make a note of the last four characters. 3. Enter them on this http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/ page. NB: the page is fairly cluttered, so I tend to just jump to the first edit box by pressing e. 4. If the last 4 characters don't produce a result try the last 3 instead. For example, if we enter dtd7 which is the last 4 characters of my 4S's serial number, we see: Showing 1 - 1 of 1 iPhone 4S (4s*) 800 MHz* Apple A5 Intro Date: October 4, 2011* Disc Date: None Order No: MC918LL/A* Model No: A1387 (EMC 2430) Subfamily: iPhone 4S (4s) Model ID: iPhone4,1 Std RAM: 512 MB* Std VRAM: None Std Storage: 8, 16, 32, 64 GB Std Optical: None Cheers, Ben.

Downgrade from iOS 8 to iOS 7.1.2 If you had accidentally upgraded your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to iOS 8 or don't like it or are finding performance issues on older iOS devices and want to downgrade back to iOS 7.1.2, then the good news is that you can downgrade as Apple seems to be still signing the iOS 7.1.2 firmware file.
