Why wont my new iphone 15 pro software update?

To update over the air from the phone all of these requirements must be met:

• To update over the air from the phone all of these requirements must be met:
• You need at least 10 GB of free storage for iOS 16 and later or 6 GB for iOS 15 or lower; more is better
• You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network (and not a personal hotspot) unless it is an iPhone that supports cellular 5G (12, 13, 14, 15 or SE 3rd edition) and has a 5G network connection
• The phone must be charged to at least 50%, and preferably plugged in so it stays above 50% during the update
• The phone must not be in Low Power Mode
• The phone must not be connected through VPN, and it may be necessary to delete any VPN apps and VPN profiles
• The phone cannot be in Airplane mode and must have a cellular data connection
• You cannot still have a beta of a previous version installed on the phone
• You cannot have a previous version that was downloaded, but not installed - go to Settings/General/iPhone Storage to look; if you find an iOS installer, delete it

If you can't meet all of them you can still update using your computer.

What is happening when you try to install it? Make sure to connect to a wifi network and to turn off low power mode. If the iPhone is still not updating please update via a pc or Mac instead

I was able to upgrade to the latest version of software after using the Microsoft Store to update my version of iTunes. You cannot get the latest version of iTunes compatible with Windows 11 through Apple. It actually is available through the Microsoft store. Once iTunes is updated, you can then plug your phone in through the computer to update it to the lastest iOs version.

Try to update it using a computer. iTunes on Windows or Finder on Mac. I've seen other reports in the last day or so of this issue. Using a computer, will get you past this.

I found a solution that will work for most without going into the Apple Store, what I did was update the phone from my Mac those of us that have a Mac should have no problem from that point, it will prompt you for information a few times but that’s about it, after that I ran the updates again since the software is updated the install will go right pass that screen and into the transfer from old phone or cloud. Hope this helps someone

I have iPhone 15 Pro Max and cannot upgrade to IOS 18. My old iPhone did, so now I cannot transfer my data. That is ridiculous.

You were running a beta version of ios 18 on your old phone. You need to enroll the new one in the beta program if you want the ios 18 beta on it. you can not restore a backup made on a newer version of ios to a device running an older version.

My i phone 15 will not load latest upgrade 17.1.2

I cannot connect to iOS 17 two

Lawrence, The last item about the IOS installer was new and helpful for me. Thanks. GeeZ06🤠

Whenever Apple decides it is ready for release.

Brand new iPhone 15 Pro - trying to do startup setup - during this setup the new iPhone requires a software upgrade from 17.1.2 to 17.4.1. Just hangs!
