Apple has stopped signing iOS 13.1.2 and iOS 13.1.3, preventing users from being able to downgrade or restore to those firmware versions.
Currently, Apple's latest firmware is iOS 13.2. If you accidentally update or restore, you'll find yourself on that version. Developers have been seeded with iOS 13.3.
Those interested in jailbreaking are typically advised to stay on the lowest firmware possible. A recent unpatchable bootrom exploit has been released for the iPhone 4S through iPhone X that could lead to a jailbreak of any firmware version for those devices.
There was a time when downgrades was a nightmare due to jailbreaking. But today thankfully that's no longer the case. From here on with iOS 13 it will only get better. So downgrades are a thing of the past.
