Thanks Limnos,


I did steps 1-5 several times. Went to step 6 - which is this thread.


I turned off WiFi and attempted update on mobile network. Prompt asks if you want to download using mobile data or wait for WiFi connection. I selected wait.


Once WiFi switched back on, the download starts.


So the routine becomes:


Select “Update all” in AppStore

Turn off wifi on iphone

Select “download later with Wifi” when prompted

Turn WiFi back on…😳


Thank again for your help. Must be the WiFi - as per your first suggestion.
