iPhone Won't Update Even With Enough Storage and Using My Mac To Update It
So my phone stopped loading any photos sent to me. I thought this was a storage issue but realized my phone needs to be updated.
I went to update my phone (currently IOS 16.5) but it said that I didn't have enough storage for IOS 17. I deleted quite a bit and have 7 GB of storage free for the update but it still won't let me because of storage.
I thought maybe I would try to update it to 16.7 and make baby steps towards 17. It wouldn't let me download 16.7 and I would get a message that said "An error occurred while trying to update."
I did research saying that I should plug my phone into my Mac and try to update from there. I got through the whole process and the screen that said "your mac is preparing to update the software on this iPhone." But I haven't made any progress from there, it's been over 30 minutes! I just want my phone to be working right, someone please help me!!
