What about the check list I provided, everything good there?
If so, try updating using a computer. Also, Apple's servers are getting slammed right now, it may just be overloaded on their end.

What error?
Can you post a screenshot of the whole screen, it could reveal why you aren't able to update.
Make sure you:
• Are using a WiFi connection (not a hotspot).
• You have an active cell signal (You need both WiFi and cellular service to perform the upgrade).
• Are not using a VPN connection.
• Have your battery charged at least 50%. Better yet, keep it plugged in during the update.
• Do not have power save mode turned on.
• Do not have a beta version installed.
• You have at least 6 gigs of storage available.

If you try using a computer to install, it requires less room, 4 gigs should be enough.
On more thing to try, try a forces reset, then try updating again.
Try a forced restart.
• Press and quickly release the volume up button
• Press and quickly release the volume down button
• Press and hold the side button.
• When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

ladt night when it I was receiving the error I thought the same. I tried this morning connecting to my PC but still the same error. I will try tonight on my Mac to see if that works.
as you mentioned it might just be an overwhelmed system too.
have you uploaded? Any issues?
@kurtosis12 at your suggestion I attached my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I was able to finally update iOS 15.7 and iOS 16th this morning after multiple restarts. It took a few hours but the are both updated. Truly appreciate your support and suggestions
We’re you able to see the error message I posted? Thank you for helping me troubleshoot
Yes everything is on. I have over 4G of storage available too. Never had an issue with an update before
No I haven't.
What version of iOS are you currently running?
Go to Settings > General > About.
You mentioned 6G of storage and I only have 4G available. I will off load some photos to see if that is the issue and let you know tomorrow if you are available. Thank you!!!
You're welcome, glad you got it sorted out.
