iOS 16.0.3 not signed
Apple has recently unsigned iOS 16.0.3 which means that it’s not possible anymore to downgrade from iOS 16.1 to any other iOS 16 version. However, iOS 15.7 is still signed! You can still revert to iOS 15, if you’re not happy with the current release!
iOS 16.0.3 Unsigned
Apple has stopped signing iOS 16.0.3 one week after the public release of iOS 16.1, allowing users enough time to revert in case of a major bug.

Facts: iOS 16.1 brings many benefits, including the much awaited fix for the accelerated battery drain issue and plenty new features. However, it does come with a series of new annoying bugs including: black wallpaper bug, wi-fi keeps disconnecting and more.
iOS 15.7 Still Signed

You only need a computer (Mac or Windows) with Finder or iTunes. A detailed step-by-step guide is available here.
