Download ISPW firmware files for iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 for iPhone and iPad right here! These files are extremely helpful if you want to do a clean installation, a manual upgrade, or downgrade the operating system later once future updates are released (as long as downgrades are supported).

Apple released iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 with Apple Intelligence, Writing Tools, enhanced Siri, Photos updates, Notification Summaries, and much more.

The software update process for iPhone and iPad is as seamless as you would want it to be. However, advanced users may need access to the IPSW firmware in the following situations:

  • Manually restore an iPhone or iPad if it is bricked, stuck in a boot loop, or in DFU mode.
  • If Internet is slow, these files can be downloaded using any download manager app (resume supported) and installed on a device using Mac (Finder) or Windows PC (iTunes).
  • Perform a clean install if device battery or performance is not up to par, or there are bugs which could go away after a clean install.
