iOS 9.3 failed verification - no internet connection

I am trying to update my iPhone 5s to iOS 9.3 as prompted by my phone.

The new software has been downloaded but this message popped up when I was trying to install it. The message says, " iOS 9.3 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet". This occurred whilst my phone is on stable wifi internet connection with me being able to browse on safari and having messages coming in and out of my messaging apps and mailbox. Besides, I can even email the terms and conditions of the iOS 9.3 update on the install page to my email address (i.e. internet gotta be working then).

I have tried several methods as suggested by others in the past i.e. 1) Killing the settings app and restart the process again and 2) Resetting my network settings. Unfortunately, none of these methods work for me and the phone is still coming up with the same error message when I try to install the update.

It would be appreciated if someone can shed some light on this please.

Thanks in advance.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2.1

Howdy -

Did you find a solution? My iPad seems to have the same options as you, with no way to delete a downloaded update.

Thanks...

I looked under "manage storage" but I don't see the download file listed, only a list of which apps to back up. How else can I find the file?

I Had the same problem with iOS 10. I deleted the downloaded version of iOS 10 and downloaded the revised version of iOS 10.1, then I was able to update my phone.

RAMGarden - My mom's iPad 2has the same issue - I can't see the software update listed in the Storage section. You mentioned that your's didn't show either and then you were able to delete it. How did you delete it if it wasn't showing up on the list?

Thanks,

Unfortunately I can't... the settings on iOS 7 which I have don't give those options... i can get there another way and it pulls up a list of apps but not the stupid update
