What is an IM4M file?
An IM4M file is a digital signature used by Apple devices. It contains information that a device uses to confirm that other boot files are authentic and have not been tampered with. Apple Watches, iPhones, iPads, and Macs all use IM4M files.
More Information
During their boot processes, Apple devices load several files used to verify their hardware and operating system's integrity. Some of these files are saved in the IM4P, or IMG4 Payload, format. IM4P files are paired with accompanying IM4M, or IMG4 Manifest, files, which a device uses to verify that the IM4P files contain the correct data.
How to open an IM4M file
IM4M files are not meant to be opened. Additionally, in most cases, you should not delete, move, or otherwise alter IM4M files.
