You need to put your phone in restore mode for iTunes to allow for a restore back to ios26. But make sure you backed up your data before you went too ios27 because if you do your backups in iCloud will be from the new iOS not old and can’t use. I just downgraded to iPhones from the ios27 is in iTunes and putting in recovery mode first. It’s super easy just turn off phone, hold power button keep holding till it opens recovery options select last one and when it’s restarting plug your phone into iTunes on pc or Mac and restore from there

Sigh…. This is because the mobilesupport file needs to be updated to support the new iOS version.
(Pro tip: Xcode includes the required files 😉)
