iOS 16.0.1 IPSW is now available via direct download links to install the OTA profile file on iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro smartphones. Merely a few days after the global release of iOS 16 firmware, Apple has already rolled out yet another mobile operating system update for its latest flagship handsets. This version is compatible with iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. Here’s how to update your new iPhone 2022 using the iOS 16.0.1 OTA profile file and IPSW links.
This is an important release from Apple, as it brings a fix to the activation failure issue plaguing many handsets. So we would recommend that you download the update as soon as it lands on your handheld device.
Due to the critical nature of the problem, the Cupertino tech giant deemed it necessary to push a day 1 fix for iPhone 14 users. This is why iOS 16.0.1 has dropped today.

iOS 16.0.1 IPSW Links:
Those who prefer using IPSW files to download iOS 16.0.1 to perform a clean install v16.0.1 instead of the OTA update method, click on the link below to grab the installer file for your phone.
However, there is no getting around the fact that the IPSW method is not as straightforward to follow for an average user. Instead, you can connect your iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro to your Mac, open iTunes or Finder, and click Restore iPhone. Once your IPSW file is downloaded automatically, you can use it to restore your iPhone. This way is a lot simpler and easier to clean install, and we recommend going down this route if your internet connection is fast enough.
