I have just installed IoS 10.3. At the top of the settings screen there is a red number (1) by Update Apple ID Settings. I have done everything required, but the red number won't go away. Does this matter?
iPhone 6, iOS 10.3
OK, it sounds like whatever is causing you to see "Update Apple ID Settings ..." is the root of the issue.
I had this same (frustrating) problem as well, in spite of resetting my phone, etc.
I eventually resolved it by going to Manage your Apple ID https://appleid.apple.com/ and turning off two-factor authorization. I'm really not sure how it got turned on after the last update.
Hope this helps.
I had this issue when using 10.3.3 and ios 11 was pending. Then I remembered something about "the update would be applied when the device had external power". After I connected power, even though it was fully charged before that, the update then immediately proceeded.
I'm posting this to help others who'd probably face this issue. This is caused due to Apple Two-Factor authentication. To fix this sing-in to https://appleid.apple.com/#!&page=signin, under Security > disable Two-Factor Authentication. Follow the prompts on the mobile\ipad immediately after for the issue to be resolved.
Cheers,

This is the only thing that worked for me! thanks!
You will be happy to hear that I have installed iOS10.3.1 and the red badge has gone. Hurrah!
Many thanks for all your patient help.

About this matter, the solution is access to Find IPhone application in your iPhone, then fill up your username and password. After that access to setting--> tap on red tag. Done
Curious. I have done that, but the badge is still there. The software is up to date (iOS10.3).
Does it matter?

That's interesting.
Can you remove it at:
Yes that seems to have removed it. I've just gone to bed (it's nearly midnight here) and the phone is downstairs. I will revert tomorrow. Thanks for your help so far. Bruce
Just checked this morning. The old iPhone 6 is still showing on the phone. It is also still showing on appleid.apple.com. so clearly it is not being removed at all.
I have now tried to remove the old iPhone 6 three times. Each time it looks OK but it is still there. This must be a part of the problem....?
That's great news.
Hopefully you'll eventually be able to get that defective iPhone off your equipment list, then you'll be all set.
Enjoy your Apple gear.
Hello just remove the two trust authetication and it works fine!
Thanks for the tip. By dint of perseverance I have sorted out the problem. The clinching factor was when Apple released iOS 10.3.1 which showed it was a bug.

Why can't I update Apple ID settings?
