    iPhone XS Possible to downgrade to iOS 12 via iTunes backup restore?

    I have a faulty iPhone XS. I was advised by an Apple Authorised Service Provider that if they find out that the circuit board may need to be replaced, I will lose all of my data, and when returned, it would be as if I received a new phone. Also, it's possible a newer version of iOS is installed...

    iPhone Have an iphone 7 on ios12.1.4, should I update to 13.2.3?

    My main concerns are battery life as I don't really need the ios 13 features for my usages. From this youtube video, it seems that going from 12.1.4 to 12.4.1 would be best just factoring in battery life , but is it still doable to do so with ipsw restore, or should I just stay put at 12.1.4...

    iPhone SE (2016) To iPhone SE users. Was 12.4.1 better in terms of battery compared to 13? If so. How many minutes /hours extra did you get?

    See title. I came from iOS 10.3.3 and 13 drains my battery really fast. So I might downgrade to 12.4.1. Also, another question. How does one reset the screen-on time and screen-off time numbers? Do I have to charge it to 100% for the numbers to become 0?
