To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Make sure your iPhone has enough storage space to download and install the update.
  2. Check your internet connection and make sure it is stable and strong.
  3. Ensure that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.
  4. Check if the software is compatible with your iPhone model.
  5. Restart your iPhone and try updating again.
  6. Try updating through iTunes on your computer instead of updating directly on your iPhone.
