A Corrupt File, Perhaps?

Cancel the update, and then perform this from your computer.  Use my User Tip:  Making Use of a Computer for Updating an iOS Device - User Tip.

"iPad stuck on verifying update?: […]How do I update iPad to 15.1 which is already downloading and waiting I even want to get as far as restoring it last week just to get it updated.”

———-

Use a computer. See my User Tip:  Making Use of a Computer for Updating an iOS Device - User Tip.

Use a different computer, if need be(i.e.: friend’s or family member’s) with their permission, of course :)

"Great. All I need is more money spent on' :Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple Support, along with an Ethernet cable."

Method of Troubleshooting:

There's no reason to purchase that, unless it comes down to it. It's just a method of troubleshooting. Being unnecessary upfront, that's why I've mentioned in a comment --not my original User Tip.

Use the Computer:

Moving forward with installing this, then try by using a computer. Once again, it's just another method of troubleshooting. Don't want to do it --then don't proceed with it.

"iPad stuck on verifying update?: I've just tried with another computer. Get same result.: Don't understand why iPad tells me it has downloaded 15.1 but when checking for update I get the message shown in the screenshot."

A Glitch, Perhaps?:

It's likely a glitch in the update. So, report this occurrence to Apple.

Reporting this to Apple:

Do your part: Let Apple know what is going on here. Provide them with feedback on this. They may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they received on this, the more they will know what is going on, and what needs to be fixed in updates to come.

1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
2. Comment: that it is after installing iOS15 when the issue began
3. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
4. Proceed from there as necessary
