Can I downgrade iOS version on iPhone 16 Pro Max?

Since I upgraded it has been the worst thing I have ever made. This phone is nothing like the older version and I would like to trade it back for an older version any ideas??


16📱when I scroll down it does not show anything on screen. It freezes camera, when I look up something on the internet. My phone at times does not ring and people say they call me and my phone at times does not ring. I have to vibrate and show light when ring and at times it does not reset this is the 2nd phone my telephone Servive company and it’s still not working correctly any suggestions??

Apple does not support downgrading your iPhone's iOS version, and to be honest it would probably cause more issues to begin with.


Regarding all the performance issues on your iPhone, please perform a Forced Restart.


  • Press and quickly release the Volume Up Button
  • Press and quickly release the Volume Down Button
  • Press and hold the Side Button until you see the Apple Logo (Can take 30 seconds and ignore the Power Off slider that appears midway)
