What is your iPhone Model and Software Version?


If your phone says it's up to date at iOS 12.5.5, then you have an iPhone 6 model (or older) and you cannot update beyond iOS 12. Time for a new iPhone model if you need to run newer iOS.

I see you have an iPhone 11. So, it is compatible.


To Check for Updates:

Use a Computer and Ethernet:

Start with attempting an update through use of a computer. If you cannot use Wi-Fi, then use Ethernet.  Go Here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. On the computer, you would connect it through Ethernet, going directly into your router. For a Mac (or PC) that does not have Ethernet, this would be the adapter to use: Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple. If you get the same error, the model is likely just not compatible.
