How to downgrade from iOS 16 back to iOS 15

Dan Uff June 17, 2022 0

Even though it is not recommended by Apple, there is a way to go back from iOS 16 to iOS 15 if you decide that you’re not ready to run the latest beta at this time. I do recommend making a backup of any important data, such as documents or photos.

Here’s what to do:

Open Finder on the Mac
Connect the iPad to the Mac with a Lightning cable
Put the iPad Pro into Recovery Mode by performing the following sequence: press and release the Volume Up button, press and release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Power/Lock button until the iPad enters recovery mode
A dialog box will appear on the Mac screen informing you a device has been detected that needs to be updated or restored, giving you the option to cancel, update, or restore – choose “Restore” to begin the process of downgrading from iPadOS 16 to iPadOS 15
Once the restore has started, let the process complete, it may take a while

Apple Camp — the popular free program for children and families — will return to Apple Store locations around the world, with sessions taking place each week from June 20 through August 31.

Now in its 20th year, Apple Camp returns in person with a new two-hour format for families, giving participants the chance to create their own digital comic book about protecting and celebrating the planet. Parents and guardians can register now at apple.co/apple-camp.

“We can’t wait for campers and their families to ignite their imaginations as they learn from our team members and each other during Apple Camp,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People, in a statement. “This special program has provided a space for connection and learning in our stores around the world for the past 20 years, and we’re thrilled to be hosting these experiences again.”

This year, Apple Creative Pros will lead a new camp activity — Art Lab: Comic Book Adventure with Your Family. After dreaming up a story about protecting the planet, campers and their families will take an iPad outside to find inspiration in their surroundings. Participants will use iPad Pro and Apple Pencil to take photos and add drawings, speech bubbles, and stickers to design their very own heroic stories.

Apple Camp is designed to engage kids ages 8 to 12 alongside their parents or guardians. The sessions will take place in stores and outdoors, and give participants the opportunity to learn from Apple’s experts and each other. Curious campers can participate in this family adventure with devices provided at the sessions.

The Camp Field Guide includes 20 creative at-home activities for iPad, and is available to download worldwide.

In addition to in-store programming, there is a new downloadable Apple Camp Field Guide. This experience includes 20 at-home activities for iPad, which are designed to educate and inspire creativity in all kids and families around the world.

We've all been there. You're in an argument with someone while texting, and you type the "F" word, only for it to change into the word "DUCK". No matter how many times you type it, it'll still come up with the word Duck.
