You can use cellular data if your iPhone has a 5G connection. That would mean that you would need to have an iPhone 12 or iPhone 13.....and.....your carrier is providing a 5G signal.


If you still have the iPhone 7 listed in your profile, you cannot update using a cellular signal.

To update over the air from the phone all of these requirements must be met:

  • You need at least 6 GB of free storage
  • You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network (and not a personal hotspot)
  • 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, and it may be necessary to delete any VPN apps and VPN profiles
  • The phone cannot be in Airplane mode
  • You cannot still have a beta version installed on the phone<—If Settings/General/Software Update says that you are up to date with a version of 14.x this is the cause
  • You cannot have a previous version that was downloaded, but not installed - go to Settings/General/iPhone Storage to look; if you find an iOS installer, delete it


If you can't meet all of them you can still update using your computer.
