애플이 iOS 26.4.1 배포 일주일 만에 이전 버전인 iOS 26.4에 대한 디지털 서명을 중단하며, 사용자들의 구버전 복귀 경로를 차단했다. 이는 iOS 26.4.1로 업데이트를 완료한 아이폰 사용자들이 더 이상 이전 시스템으로 다운그레이드할 수 없음을 의미한다. 애플의 디지털 서명은 특정 iOS 버전의 설치를 인증하는 열쇠 역할을 하며, 서명이 중단되면 해당 버전의 설치 자체가 제한된다. 애플은 일반적으로 최신 버전의 안정성이 확보되거나 이전 버전에서 발견된 보안 문제가 해결되었을 때 구버전 서명을 중단하는 정책을 운영해왔다. 이번 조치는 iOS 26.4.1...
