Apple Stops Signing iOS 13.7 After Releasing iOS 14, Downgrading No Longer Possible
Following the release of iOS 14 last Wednesday, Apple has stopped signing iOS 13.7, which means downgrading to iOS 13 after upgrading to iOS 14 is no...

Break into Apple HQ. Find out where they have the digital signing servers, then go to that physical location. Break in there, defeat the system security and instruct the system to resign the version of iOS that you want to downgrade to.
Escape. Go home. Downgrade.
You'll need to avoid Apple security and the cops.
Or bribe someone inside Apple to resign your version of iOS.
Otherwise, you can't 'fix' what isn't broken. Apple stops digitally signing older versions of iOS in order to stop exactly the thing you want to do.
This is the main reason to remain on ios 13 till all the bugs get ironed out once Apple stop signing the older version you are pretty screwed no way back.......

Unfortunately, you can't, as Apple has stopped signing iOS 13. It's frustrating because there are many legitimate reasons to want to go back to an earlier version of iOS (bugs, degraded performance, incompatibility with apps, etc). It's quite easy to do on MacOS, and they certainly could make it easy on iOS but just choose not to.
More than that, they actively work to make it difficult.
You can do this if you jailbreak, but you have to have the blobs saved for the version of iOS you want to downgrade to. That was easier to do pre-iOS 6, but Apple changed things in iOS 6 and then added APTicket in iOS 7. Then along came the secure enclave at some point. So now, every duck has to be lined up, the big one (SHSH blobs) before hand.
Stock iOS? No way.
It's hard to know. If you got it from Apple, I assume it would have iOS 14. If you got it from some supplier that doesn't turn stock over that quickly, you might still get iOS 13.
