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) unless it is an iPhone 12 or 13 series or an SE 3rd edition with an active 5G network connection
  • 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
  • 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.

I am getting the error and I'm good on everything except that I can see a software update (the error one from today) in my storage and when I hit delete update it will not delete the update. I almost feel like they are trying to force me to upgrade and I don't have the money for that right now.


i've tried everything and Apple will not let me install the software update on my Xs.

See comments attached to If you see "Software update is required t… - Apple Community . The reason this IOS update was important to me is the hope that it will resolve the problem with this software installation that is blocking me and others from being able to connect to our Mac via USB. That's another thread though, not this one. Now that I have upgraded IOS, I will try the USB again. Thanks.
