There is reportedly an error connecting to Apple's update servers. See here: Apple - Support - System Status

Update Using your Computer:

The issue seems to have gone away. So, try using your computer, if using an iPhone is of no option. If WiFi does not work, then try using Ethernet. Use my User Tip Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip

Hello,

You could have a bad network connection. Try another network or try your computer. See this for detail:

Good luck.

I got the same problem. It’s not a problem with the internet service at my house. There’s clearly a bug with the latest update. My problem began after installing the latest update.

My internet connection is fine. Happening on both iPad and iPhone fwiw.

Phone shows upgrade badge (1), which is what made me check. Currently on iOS 16.5.1 (c). Power off reset does not fix.

I was able to update using iTunes on my PC.
