Did you remove the old update file and force restart the iPhone, then start the update again?

If you still can't install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, you can download the update again.


To delete the update:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap General.
  3. Tap [device] Storage.
  4. Find the update in the list of apps.
  5. Tap the update, then tap Delete Update.


To download the update again:


  1. Go to Settings.

Did you try to repeat the update process using a fast and stable WiFi network connection?

If you don't have it, borrow one from your friends/relatives/neighbours.
