iPad 2 downgrade

Hello.

I have recently managed to get my niece iPad 2 in good condition

(I know I'm cheap, it was all I could afford and I wanted to get her a nice gift)

The thing is I didn't know that it will be unusable (slooooow....) being updated to most recent available firmware -

I've read some articles about it, and now I'd like to downgrade it to iOS 6 - it is even possible in 2022?

Where to find files? I found no iOS6 on IPSW Downloads.... ideas?

  • Hello!

    Yeah the iPad 2 is not super fast with the newest OS it can take.

    I do not have experience doing this. The one suggestion I would make is to try out Apple Configurator 2 (free download to a Mac from the App Store). It offers much more sophisticated iPad imaging tools than the OS itself, so there may be a way to use it to do this, if you can find the iOS6 image. Or, it may give you access to the files within the app...not sure.

    Good luck!

    John

    Even if it is a process with jumping through hoops, it will be WELL WORTH IT. iOS 6.1.3 was made for the A5 devices!
