Frequently asked questions.

What is an IPSW file?

An IPSW file is Apple's official firmware package for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and other devices. It contains the complete operating system and is used to restore, update, or downgrade a device through Finder, iTunes, or tools like idevicerestore.

What does signed vs. unsigned mean?

A signed IPSW is a version Apple currently approves for installation — your device will only accept these during a normal restore. Once Apple stops signing a version, it can no longer be installed without saved SHSH blobs or specific exploits.

Can I downgrade my iPhone with an IPSW?

Only to versions Apple is still signing, which is usually just the latest release and occasionally the previous one. Check the signing status on the device page before attempting a downgrade.

Are these downloads safe?

Yes. Every download link points directly to Apple's own servers (appldnld.apple.com and updates.cdn-apple.com) — Zeus never hosts or modifies firmware files. You can verify each file with the checksums Apple publishes.
