How to restore the iPhone 18 Pro Max (US)
Four steps, and the one that matters most is the first.
Back up first
A restore erases the device. Make an archived backup in Finder or the Apple Devices app — an iCloud backup taken on a newer version cannot be restored onto an older one. Our backup guide covers the difference.
Get the file for your exact model
Check Settings → General → About → Model Name, then download the IPSW for that device. The download shows the file size; compare it with the SHA-256 under Details if you want to be certain the file is intact.
Restore in Finder or Apple Devices
Connect with a cable, select the device, then hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and click Restore to choose the .ipsw. Update keeps your data but only works upward; Restore erases and is how you downgrade.
Set up or restore your backup
After the restore the device starts fresh. Restore the backup you made — only if it came from the same or an older version than the one you just installed.
Questions? Answers.
Which iPhone 18 Pro Max (US) firmware can I install right now?
Apple is currently signing 1 of the 1 builds listed for the iPhone 18 Pro Max (US); the newest is iOS 27.0 (24A437). Use the Signed filter to see only those — an unsigned file will be rejected at the end of the restore.
How do I find my iPhone model?
Settings → General → About shows the Model Name. Every iPhone 18 Pro Max (US) has the identifier iPhone19,3, and model number A3473 on the back or in About.
What does "signed" mean?
Apple's servers must approve a firmware before a device will accept it, and Apple only approves the builds it is currently shipping. A signed file can be restored today; an unsigned one is rejected at the end of the process, however you obtained it. Signing status changes without notice, usually within days of a newer release, which is why this catalogue rechecks it automatically.
Will I lose my data?
A Restore erases the device — that is what makes a downgrade possible. An Update with an IPSW keeps your data, but only when moving to a newer version. Either way, make an archived backup on a computer first; an iCloud backup taken on a newer version will not restore onto an older one.
Where do these files come from?
Every download link points directly at Apple's content network (updates.cdn-apple.com). The catalogue — which file belongs to which device, its size and its SHA-256 — is assembled from Apple's own software catalogs by way of AppleDB, and nothing is re-hosted or modified here.
