Note: Your battery is not charged more than 50%. Charge you iPhone to more than 50% and then try updating again.


Requirements to start and install an Update on an iPhone-

  • The phone must be charged to over 50%
  • Low Power Mode must be OFF
  • You cannot be connected through VPN
  • You must have a Wi-Fi connection (not cellular)
  • You should plug in the phone or put it to charge to assure it stays on and connected to Wi-Fi.

In addition to the good help you have already received, how much Available storage do you have, under Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage?


You need significantly more Available storage than the size of the install package. Something on the order of three (3) times that much or more. (This will vary depending upon iPhone model and the particular update.)
