Unable to update iOS

Hi this is a weird one . I could t upload the newest iOS as I needed 7gigs( ridiculous)

I thought well that’s it I can’t be bothered to lose photo's and reams of apps , so o left it and thought it will grind to a halt and il get a new one ( I was planning to next year) I removed a few apps to no avail and forgot about it This was 3?weeks ago

suddenly I look today and it has auto uploaded!🤷‍♂️ is this Apple trying it on to get us to purchase storage then giving up after a certain time and installing anyway?

would not put it past them

iPhone SE, iOS 17

No. Apple does not try to get you to do anything. Conspiracy theories will get you nowhere.

If there was finally enough space to install, it will install. There can be a number of things that caused there to be enough room to install.

Including you removal of whatever it is you deleted that took a while to actually release the space, and then it took a longer while for it to try to install again and be able to because there was enough space to do so.
