Found these 2 sites that claim I can downgrade my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 without SHSH blobs, does anyone know if they're legit? I know I was able to downgrade my iPhone 4 from iOS 7.1.2 to 6.1.3 using a similar method about a year ago.

Oh okay. We can say this and people believe it but anyone dare attempt to say "Nvidia gimps AMD" and you get banned. Yeah, okay.

 

What for? And no way in hell those sites are legit.

Figured they weren't, and now I know for sure because I went to the downloads page and "fill out a survey to continue" definitely fake. I was hoping by some chance they would be legit, since I was able to downgrade my iPhone 4 after the signing period had closed and I didn't have SHSH blobs.

The first step to doing this is to buy an android device.

My i5 6500 is bad and can't even maintain 4.5ghz, and 4.4ghz causes it to slowly become unstable over weeks with a vcore of 1.395. FML

you need to be jailbroken and use a tool to "restore" to the iOS version you need to

I mean android phones may not run well with 1gb ram, iphone 6 has 1gb of ram but it's performance is equivalent to an android device with 2gb of ram

No, no. Ram doesn't matter as long as your system is running well, like an I Phone. However the features of Android for me outweigh the "premium finish" of the I Phone which I would say looks nice but something android manufacturers have too. Have you even used an Android device before???

The best thing to do is download a .ipsw file from some Torrent site (not that I support illegal downloads, its just the only place I know to get them). Then in iTunes hold shift or alt or something (can't quite remember) over the "restore" button for the iPhone and it should allow you to select an install file to restore with, rather than just downloading its own one. That's how I used to install beta IOS versions without the $100 a year dev account.

You should consider switching, because Apple is a shit company but they make good I Phones once in a while.

I prefer using an iphone since it's not complicated to use and I don't need to install an anti virus, I also like iMessage and privacy

I don't think iMessage and privacy should be used in the same forum./..
