My phone is plugged in I’ve cleared space for it on my storage, and it still won’t update.

Why the Error? there is an error connecting to Apple's update servers..


Update Using a Computer and Ethernet:

Try updating via a computer. Go Here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip.


Using Ethernet:

If you cannot use Wi-Fi, then use Ethernet. On the computer, you would connect it through Ethernet, going directly into your router. For a Mac (or PC) that does not have Ethernet, this would be the adapter to use: Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple
