Make sure you are abiding by all the condtions for the method you aere trying to use:

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support - wirelessly

Update iOS on iPhone - Apple Support - with a computer


If your Apple mobile device won't update, read this support article for a list of things to try --> If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support


Another, less common reason for not being able to update is if you were using a beta version of software. Refer to How to uninstall iOS or iPadOS beta software - Apple Support

A question: 

1.

Do you have a MDM profile?

If so, contact your company - IT department.

 

2.

Have you install / use iOS Beta version?, if so remove the beta profile (Settings -> General -> VPN & Device Management).

Then Restart your iPhone and check for updates again.


If neither applies, see ⤵️

You can update your iPhone to iOS 16.4.1 -> iPhone models compatible with iOS 16 – Apple Support (UK)


You need about 6 GB device storage and good Service and/or Wi-Fi.

If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.

Charge the battery > 70%.

Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Download and Install.
