It's very different. It depends on how busy the servers are, just as it is about how fast your WiFi connection is.


A tip if your update has stalled.

First, reboot your phone. Turn it back on and go to:

Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Auto-Lock. Select Never.

Remember to put it back after updating. The reason I do this is because the screen does not turn off while downloading the update.


After that, connect a charger and of course make sure you are connected to WiFi, then try updating again.
