Can you update iPhone to the latest iOS using ipsw file? Shift+Update OR Shift+Restore? (alien.top)
 

Hi everyone,

I've been searching but couldn't find an answer to this. I'm currently using iPhone Xs and I wanted to update to the latest iOS 17.1.1. But updating it through iTunes takes a long time (approx. 7 hrs) because I have a slow internet speed & it needs to download from the server before updating my phone.

  1. Can I use ipsw to update?
  2. If yes, is it Shift+Update OR Shift+Retore? (Confused with this because I read a lot people mention restore but not update)
  3. Will it retain my apps, data & settings? (Since I just want to update, not fresh/clean install)

Thanks in advance
