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 10 gigs of storage available.

It is hard to accurately convey just how infuriating this is. Apple’s solution to a clearly bad software update is to pretend like this problem isn’t their fault and make us jump through 1,000 hoops. I DO NOT have either the time nor the energy to update my phone via my computer like it’s 2012. The Me Too’s on this article are insane. And the internet is littered with articles and tips on 16.3.1.
