If you want to use cellular data to update your phone, you must have an iPhone that supports 5G.....and.....your carrier must be using 5G.


The iPhone 12, 13 and 14 support 5G.


If you still have the iPhone XR, it does not support 5G, so you cannot use cellular data to update the phone. You can update using Wi-Fi or by connecting your iPhone to a Mac or PC.
