Should you have a computer, that often is a good way to update an iPhone.

You'd use a cable; and iTunes application. (For older Mac or Windows PC.

Or use Finder in newer Mac with USB cable; or iTunes in older Mac/PC.)


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes - Apple Support

Update software on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in iTunes on PC - Apple Support

(Updates by WiFi often work OK; more often use of USB cable, is the default.)

Note the detail in first article where more space may be needed. "If you need

more space for an update, you can delete content from your device manually."


Also be sure when trying WiFi, to have update set in Settings; &

leave iPhone charging, while the update downloads and installs.
