To update all of these requirements must be met:

  • You need at least 5 GB free
  • You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network (and not a personal hotspot) unless it is an iPhone 12 series with an active 5G network connection
  • The phone must be charged to at least 50%, and preferably plugged in so it stays above 50% during the update
  • The phone must not be in Low Power Mode
  • The phone must not be connected through VPN
  • The phone cannot be in Airplane mode

I’ll upload a screenshot- this was the last one- I tried on my old iPhone to see if there were any issues and it updated just fine… I have troubleshooted everything that it said to do. Cleared storage, backups saved to iTunes and MAC. ive been at this for so long I just want to try to do everything I possibly can so that I can just be done at this point bc the closet APPLE store near me is around 1.5 hours alway so I won’t be able to go till this weekend. So I’m hoping if worse comes to worst they can help over the phone so I don’t have to wait all week just for an update. It’s so odd I mean I am aware now that my storage was full so I’m assuming that’s how I missed 2 IOS updates… I was just surprised bc I usually get an email or notification on another form along with APPLE Notifications as well. Just odd. 🤔
