iPhone says I don't have enough space to update

I DO have space to run the update but it keeps telling me that I don’t have enough space

Clear Some Space...


Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support

You are cutting it too close; the iOS needs space to run and you are updating your iCloud photos which requires resources (space). You need to maintain an absolute minimum of 3 - 5 GB of empty space at all times - that is what you have now. You need to delete some stuff;I'd guess about 10 GB which will give you room for the download but also create a bit more empty space for everything to run smoothly.
