This message will appear if you have an older update on the phone that was never installed, or had a problem installing.


To see if that might be a possibility.......


Settings > General > iPhone Storage

Scroll way down to the very bottom and look for any Software Updates.

Tap on Software Update, then tap Delete


If you are running a VPN on your phone, disable the VPN, restart the phone and try the update again
