Can't install IOS 14 today I downloaded IOS 14 general release today and everything seemed to go fine. The process then Verified the update and quickly switched to "Unable to Install Update. An error occurred installing IOS 14". I have enough space, have removed and downloaded the update once already and restarted the phone, all to no avail. FYI - I was previously on the Public beta program for IOS 14 and got to Beta 7 if I remember right, but exited that a week or so ago to ensure I received the general release. Also, I was able to update my Watch OS today just fine. I was NOT on the public Beta for that one. And I'm loading this onto a 64gb 6S. Ideas?

IOS update I can’t update my iPhone to IOS 14.7.1 My phone is connected to the internet via WiFi connection but nothing is happening. It’s just loading like forever on the stage “timing“, and even restarting of the phone doesn’t help. I can’t connect my Apple Watch because of having the old IOS version, and it’s like a shut-in circle. Could you please help me to resolve this issue?

Is your watch on a charger and with at least 50% charge?

Is it on the same wifi network as your iPhone?

What model watch?

Is there sufficient free space on the watch?

Is there sufficient free space on your iPhone?
