Downgrade To iOS 15.7.2
According to iSoftware Updates on Twitter you can downgrade iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus running any iOS 16 version to 15.7.2.
You need the appropriate ipsw files, a computer and a Lightning to USB (USB-C) cable. We will update the ipsw files here as soon as they become available!
All other iOS 16 running iPhones (excepting the 14 and 14 Pro models) can still downgrade to iOS 15.6 RC as shown in this step-by-step guide.

Hopefully I can download the new ios 15.7.2 with is come out to the public soon. Still running ios 15 (15.7.1) on both my iPhone 11 and iPad Pro 9.7 and not ready for the ios 16 yet. Hear that is still not stable yet from other peoples running the new 16 software. Apple change the software update page on device running ios 15.7.1 that can get the new ios 16 to now showing that ios 16.1.1 is the only update you can go to. No more ios 15.7.1 your software is up to date and No more also available ios 16 option either. I’ll be not happy if ios 15.7.2 is not supported for newer devices and only on the old iphone 7 or older and ipad air 2 or older
That will be interesting to see indeed. Please keep us updated. But if you’re on 15.7.1 you should be able to update to 15.7.2 for sure.
The new ios 15.7.2 came out today to the public. And I still can’t update both my iPhone 11 and iPad Pro 9.7 :(. The software update page is still forcing me to download and install ios 16 ( now ios 16.2). Guess apple it done with supporting ios 15 for iPhone 8 and newer, and also the ipad air 3 and newer. I knew this day would come at some point. Noting good never last forever. At least I was able to still get all of the new ios 15 update still after ios 16 came out in September up until the ios 15.7.1 update in October. Can’t get any new ios 15 update after that one.
Thanks for reporting. iOS 15.7.2 RC is available over the air for all devices, however the update only shows up with the beta profile for devices able to run iOS 16. You can get iOS 15.7 RC. If you update using a computer. You need to download the ipsw file for your appropriate iPhone model first. We will publish an article about this today. Stay tuned.
