Hey there, PabloLane13!


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.


We see that you were having some issues installing iOS 16 and we want to help if you're still not having any luck. We do recommend installing iOS 16 on your iPhone 13 so if you're not able to install that update, it would be a good idea to run through the troubleshooting steps here: If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support


Be sure to try the steps under the section titled "Remove and download the update again".


We hope this does the trick for you!


Cheers.
