User level: Level 1 (0 points)I have an iPhone 12 which I just updated to 26.7.1, it says it is up to date but there is an available update to iOS 27. It won’t allow me to update to that version so now I can’t access the update for my Apple Watch as it says I need to update my phone first. How do I get rid of the phone update that won’t load

On the update page on your iPhone swipe UP to likely see the iOS 27 update. If you still don't see it, you can use your computer with either Finder (Mac) or Apple Devices/iTunes (Windows) to update your phone.
