The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt.

Hi, my iPhone 12 mini software update doesn't work.

It cannot be updated to a new version (iOS 16.5).

The current software version is 15.6.1.


When I used my Macbook (version 11.7.4) to connect to the iPhone and download new software and install, it showed this message.

The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt.


What should I do to update a software?
