Downgrading refer to a process of Installing an earlier version of Apple's iOS on a device instead of the most current iOS.
Usually, whenever, a new iOS is released, it becomes impossible to install a previous version of the iOS. However, ways have been designed to make this possible provided SHSH blobs have been saved for that iOS one intends to install.
Downgrade is only possible for pre A5 devices. This means that iPhone 4S and 5 are not possible to downgrade. For example, an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed can be downgraded to iPhone 4 6.1.2 if the SHSH blobs are saved. However, iPhone 4S can't achieve that even if SHSH blobs are saved.
Furthermore, apart from the firmware or iOS downgrade, there is also a downgrade of something called baseband. Just like the iOS downgrade, baseband downgrade is only possible for iPhone 3G and 3GS but not possible for later generation of iDevices.
SHSH Blobs
This is a kind of file saved on all devices whenever an iOS is installed on the device. Its a kind of signature that accompanies all iOS that are installed on a device.
This file is also store on Cydia server for those that have a jailbroken device but can also be saved on a computer with the help of softwares like iFaith and TinuUmbrella.
The benefit of having saved SHSH blobs is that it gives certain devices (pre A5 devices only) the ability to downgrade their iOS in the future if they so please even if Apple isn't signing it on their servers anymore.
The recommendation is that one should always save SHSH blobs locally with the help of iFaith and TinyUmbrella just in case there is a need to downgrade iOS.
That is, when you upgrade your iOS, do a saving of the device's SHSH blobs and keep on your computer.
At the time of this writing, it is not recommended to update your iDevice to iOS 6.1.3 if you intend on jailbreaking your device untethered. Furthermore, save your SHSH blobs with the software listed above.
However, if you do not plan to jailbreak your device, feel free to update to the latest iOS version.
More terms would be added to the list. However, it is pertinent to note that proper information is needed before you upgrade to any firmware or attemp to jailbreak any iDevice .
feel free to ask questions on any term you do not understand and any task you are not sure of carrying out.
