iOS 16.5.1 error

An error occurred downloading ios16.5.1. I get this message as soon as I request the download and have since it’s a availability. I have automatic updates on and my phone is on charger while connected to Wi-Fi every overnight. Is there a known issue? What is the Remedy?

👉 You cannot update your iPhone to iOS 16.5.1 (C)


If it is an iPhone 6S you can update to iOS 15.7.7, you can check -> iPhone models compatible with iOS 12 -> iOS 16 -> iPhone models compatible with iOS 15.5 – Apple Support (UK)


Check first -> iPhone type & iOS version -> Go to Settings -> General -> About.

You need about 6 - 8 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.
