iPhone taking long time to Prepare update
After downloading the latest iOS update my iPhone seems to be taking a long time to ‘prepare update’ Is there a way past this or how long should it be taking?

Depending on how much data you have on your device, and on the iOS version currently running on it, it might take 30-60 minutes.
Bear in mind that if that device is still running iOS 13, you might encounter many difficulties to update it wirelessly.
I suggest that you try to update it via computer (if you don't have a computer borrow one from your friends/neighbors, or ask for help at an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider), then learn how to update your device manually if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or if you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC.

This can take anywhere up from 5 minutes to 30 minutes in my experience
