There is no one answer. Here are several probabilities:

  • Your phone isn’t charged to at least 50%
  • You don’t have enough storage to update
  • Your phone is in low power mode
  • You don’t have a Wi-Fi connection, or alternatively a 5G cellular connection


There are other possibilities, but these should get you started

Troubleshooting a Paused/Stalled iPhone Update:

Whatever the reason, it has stalled, and no longer can proceed with the update. So, being it is stalled, you are stuck in a Boot Loop. Boot Loops occur when you go about installing an update, and the update stalls while in the process: So, refer to my user tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - User Tip
