Did you make sure, that your iPhone is connected to a fast and stable Wi-Fi network and no VPN or Firewall is blocking the contact to Apple Servers?

Also keep your iPhone connected to the charger, to keep the iPhone from getting into standby mode, which might also cut the Wi-Fi connection, if not charged at the same time.


There is more troubleshooting to be found in this related article:

A simple restart may also help to start the iOS 27 upgrade download.

I have tried all of that buh decided to wait for a couple of weeks before I try and update it again … sure the servers are overloaded because a lot of people are trying to update
