If you can’t install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS on your iPhone or iPad

You might be unable to update your iPhone or iPad wirelessly, or over the air, for one of these reasons:


If your device doesn't support new software

To check if your device supports new software:

  1. Identify your iPhone or iPad model.
  2. Check whether your iPhone or iPad model is on the list of compatible devices for the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.

If your device is compatible, then update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS that is available to you.

If you have a compatible device but your iPhone or iPad won't update, try the steps below.

Sorry, FinnGirlM. It was too much to copy/paste. For the additional steps, go here —-> If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support. Start at the section that reads: If there's not enough space to update


You could also try to free up space by optimizing the storage on iPhone. You can do this by by deleting apps, deleting old photos you no longer need, old emails & messages. You can read more about it here: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support


I hope this helps.
