You have an iPhone XR. Not sure whether your question is related to updating it or fixing it. If it is related to fixing it, then we would need you to post more details on what needs fixing and if it is related to updating it then please read below:

——-

Make sure that your iPhone is setup to meet the following requirements before you attempt to update the iOS version over a Wi-Fi Network. Open Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Software Update: If there is an update available for your iPhone then it will be listed here. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and update your iPhone. 

  • Your iPhone must have a fast Wi-Fi connection; you cannot update over cellular data or a cellular hotspot
  • Ensure that you do not have a beta profile installed from a previous version
  • The iPhone can not be in Low Power mode
  • The battery state of charge must be above 50%
  • Your iPhone must have at least 8GB or more free storage space
  • Your iPhone cannot be connected through VPN
  • You should leave the phone plugged in until it finishes updating, both to assure that it remains above 50% and to keep Wi-Fi enabled (Wi-Fi turns off when the phone sleeps if not connected to power).

What is it about the update that you need to "fix"?


Successfully Updating an iPhone:


A. Troubleshooting an Update not Responding:

Boot Loop: Perhaps it is stuck in a boot loop? This can occur when updating, and it got frozen.  So, user MY User Tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - User Tip
