It says the current update is the latest update.

This is an iPhone question...

I will add—

if you have older version of iOS that was not installed on your phone—

iPhone go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage

Scroll to the bottom to see if there are any old iOS update listed (?)

If yes then tap on the old iOS update, then tap to Delete.

Then try again your software update from the mac Finder

Opps— thought I was replying to etozhejesus

No, it's a macbook question.

Since this update is available on the iPhone itself. And seemingly no problem, but I prefer to update over the wire rather than the air

You can shut down and restart both devices and compare your results...

If no resolve you can file a bug report / submit your Apple Feedback here:  Product Feedback - Apple

Just updated everything via DFU mode.

I think it was connected to a bad Apple server last time.

thanks for your help.

Have you restarted your Mac? Restarted the phone?

If you connect the phone to the Mac using a cable, and you click on Back Up Now, does the backup run?

Are there other troubleshooting steps have you performed so far on the Mac?

Sorry for all the questions. We are trying to avoid asking you to do things that you have already done.

Finder is flawless on two iPhones here. The update takes maybe 4-5 minutes to download and another 10 to install.

Sounds like an issue with your Mac, so I would have it checked at the Genius Bar or an authorized Apple service shop in your area:

Find Locations

Let's wait and see what the OP reports after some basic checks. Updating via the Finder has always been flawless for me.

Nice work! Glad that it was an issue on the Apple side that is now resolved.
