After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
What do you mean?
So there are a few different answers depending on device?
For example, iPhone 4 and below can be put on any iOS that you have device specific blobs for. (Same for ipad1/2?)
I think you can bring the iPhone 5 to iOS 6 with Odysseus.
Anything after the 5 though, specifically the phones with 64bit architectures, you cannot install any old versions, or unsigned, iOS

That will not.
I skipped iOS 6 so I never paid that much attention to it, but what I've assimilated through other jailbreak research/obsession is that you can downgrade to iOS 6 only through some kind of special magic that the final OTA iOS 6 allows.
But that would be where it ends. Blobs became irrelevant because Apple changed the method of checking whether an iOS can be installed.
So it's the latest iOS 6 jailbreak, or what you have now.
THEORETICALLY there is an iOS 9.2 and 9.3 jailbreak being released within a month / 2 months, but at this point it's a single guy talking, who hasn't been disproven yet? take it with a grain of salt, I am assuming it is BS for now and will be pleasantly surprised if this dude turns out to be legit.

TL/DR I'm not sure, but I think not. Maybe a new jailbreak soon.
Well I heard the iPhone 7 is virtually unjailbreakble which is disspoining
Anything made by man will be broken by man.
