How to install an IPSW on the iPad (A16)

  1. Back up first. Restoring an IPSW erases the iPad. Make an encrypted, archived backup in Finder (Mac) or the Apple Devices app (Windows).
  2. Download the right file from the table above — it must match the iPad (A16) and be marked Signed, or Apple will refuse it.
  3. Connect the iPad with a cable, open Finder or Apple Devices, and select it in the sidebar.
  4. Option-click (Mac) or Shift-click (Windows) Check for Update to install over your data, or Restore iPad for a clean install — then pick the .ipsw file.
  5. Wait for both restarts and keep the cable connected. If the iPad won't respond, put it in recovery mode and restore again.

No computer? You don't need an IPSW to try the beta — it installs over the air from Settings. IPSW files are for clean installs, recovering a stuck device and downgrading.

iPad (A16) IPSW questions

Which iPadOS versions is Apple signing for the iPad (A16)?

As of our last check, Apple is signing these builds for the iPad (A16):

  • iPadOS 27.2 beta 4 (24B5110a)
  • iPadOS 27.2 beta 3 (24B5099f)
  • iPadOS 27.0.1 (24A446)
  • iPadOS 27.2 beta 2 (24B5089g)
  • iPadOS 27.2 beta (24B5084k)
  • iPadOS 26.6.1 RC (23G82)

Only signed builds can be restored. The list changes whenever Apple ships an update.

Can I downgrade the iPad (A16) from iPadOS 27 to iPadOS 26?

Yes — Apple is still signing iPadOS 26.6.1 RC (23G82) for the iPad (A16). Restore it from a computer, then restore the backup you made before installing iPadOS 27. A backup made on iPadOS 27 won't restore onto iPadOS 26.

How big is the iPadOS 27 IPSW for the iPad (A16)?

The newest file, iPadOS 27.2 beta 4, is 10.93 GB. Leave at least twice that free on the computer doing the restore.

Are these IPSW files safe to download?

Yes. Every button links straight to updates.cdn-apple.com, Apple's own download server — nothing is re-hosted or modified here. You can compare the file with the SHA-256 checksum in the table.

What is the model identifier of the iPad (A16)?
