iPhone 8 unable to verify iOS 16.7.13 update

I have been unable to update my iPhone 8 to iOS 16.7.13. The update seems to download OK; but when I try to install it, I am consistently given a message stating that it was unable to verify the update, and I should try again later.

I have twice deleted the update, and re-downloaded it. This has made no difference.


iPhone 8, iOS 16
