About This Firmware Library

This is a complete, always up-to-date directory of Apple IPSW firmware files — every version of macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and more, going back to the earliest available releases.

The firmware list is fetched live every time you visit directly from Apple's firmware database, so new OS versions and security updates appear here automatically the moment Apple publishes them. No manual curation needed.

Use the category tabs to switch between device families — Mac (Apple Silicon), iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch — then select your specific model from the sidebar to see every firmware release with file size, build ID, release date, and Apple signing status.

Important Notice

When you click any Apple software download link on this page, you are redirected directly to an Apple server. We do not — and never will — mirror, copy, or store these files. You download the file directly from Apple's own infrastructure.

A Signed badge means Apple is currently accepting that firmware for restore or update via Finder (macOS) or iTunes (Windows). Unsigned versions can no longer be installed through standard means.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Apple IPSW firmware file?

An IPSW file is Apple's firmware format for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Macs. It contains the full operating system and is used to restore or update a device via Finder (macOS) or iTunes (Windows).

What does "Signed" mean for Apple firmware?

Apple cryptographically signs specific firmware versions. A Signed status means Apple currently accepts that version for restore or update through Finder or iTunes. Unsigned versions can no longer be installed through standard means.

Are the download links official Apple links?

Yes. Every download button links directly to Apple's own servers (apple.com or cdn-apple.com). Macfixit does not store, mirror, or modify any files — you download straight from Apple's infrastructure.

Which macOS version should I download?

For most users, download the latest signed version — currently macOS Sequoia 15. If you need an older version for compatibility, use the Intel Mac table above or browse the IPSW section for your Apple Silicon Mac.

Why does the IPSW browser only show Apple Silicon Macs?

Apple only provides IPSW restore images for Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and later). Intel Macs use a different installer format, available in the table above via the Mac App Store or direct DMG download.

How do I restore an Apple Silicon Mac using an IPSW file?

Connect to another Mac running Finder, put the Mac into DFU mode, then select the IPSW file in Finder to restore. Always back up your data first.
