My iPhone is stuck midway of update for my Apple Watch

The 10.3 update yesterday is stuck on update. Yesterday, I went through the same procedure as previously watch updates for the new release of os 10.3 (ie. place watch on charging disc and then activated update through my Apple 15 pro phone). The update process on my phone was about halfway updating and then just stopped. I check the phone 15 pro and watch 9 update process about two hours later and there was no progress on update. My iPhone is now stuck midway in the 10.3 update for my Apple Watch 9.

Ok this worked for me, and this is how i fixed the issue related being stuck midstream on software download. For Apple Watch within your iPhone go into settings, then General, then Storage and delete 10.3 file. Then do a soft reboot of your phone by a single fast click of volume up button on your phone followed by a fast click of volume down button and finish with holding the power button to turn off your phone. Power back on your phone and then do the download again. This should also work if you had a similar issue with updating to iPhone 17.3 or any other software download in the future.
