I downloaded iOS 8.4.1 on my iPhone but I wasn't able to install the update it says unable to install update and an error occurred installing iOS 8.4.1 I tried restarting my iPhone but still wasn't able to install the software
I am having this same issue with my iPhone 5. I never did an update since I bought the phone new in 2013. Now apps are dropping off as they are no longer compatible with iOS 6.1.3 so I tried to install OTA the update to 8.4.1 but no luck.
You didn't mention how you were doing the update. If the OTA update is failing, using a computer is your best bet.
If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
Where did you download iOS 8.4.1?
Certainly not from Apple.
You cannot install any iOS that is not downloaded from Apple.
At the moment depends on your iPhone model
iOS 7.1.2, iOS 9.3.5 or iOS 10.2.1, there's no iOS 8.4.1
I'm too lazy to search for the latest compatible iOS version for iPhone 5 but I'm assuming it isn't version 8. Delete that update. Don't worry, if iOS 8 happens to be the latest compatible version for your phone, it'll be re-downloaded. Otherwise, your device will download whatever latest version it can get and that is the only version you can upgrade to.
There is no version of the iPhone presently capable of installing iOS 8.4.1. You can only install the most recent, compatible version.
Which model do you have?
My iPhone says that unable to install update 8.4.1 what shall I do
