Apple revoking all firmwares for some older devices

upload_2018-1-10_17-13-7.png

It appears that Apple has stopped signing every firmware version for a lot of older devices that used A5 chips. All devices whose latest firmware update was either iOS 9.3.5 or iOS 5.1.1 has lost its ability to update or restore. That means if an issue occurs, such as a brick, iTunes will be unable to restore the iDevice. Oddly enough, devices who's latest firmware was iOS 6.1.6 are not affected by this. This comes recently after the controversy over Apple slowing down the performance of its older devices. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

EDIT: It appears 9.3.5 for all versions of the first iPad mini and the iPod Touch 5 is being signed again.

EDIT 2: It appears apple has noticed and is resigning more devices. The iPad 2, iPad 3, and iPhone 4 iOS 9.3.5 was resigned and iPod Touch 3 and iPad 1 iOS 5.1.1 was also resigned.

It’s sad when software kills hardware. Apple really does want you to buy their new shit.

They have had their devices locked down via software update signing for many years now. This is nothing new, everyone should have known by now that any Apple device they own can be rendered useless at any time since most use the firmware signing that prevents offline upgrades and restores.

I literally cannot get over the fact that everyone is using this to attack Apple. You guys look like morons. This is CLEARLY a bug and will be fixed.
