Why wont my iphone update?

If you failing to update your iOS then there are a few reasons which prevent ios updates from happening such as:

Check your iPhone is compatible

Before updating your iPhone device check if it’s compatible with an update or not. The latest iOS 15 update is released only for the iPhone 6s or later. And if you are an iPhone SE user then you can also update your device. If you are using an iPhone 5s or later then sorry to say that you are out of luck.

Your internet connection – network update iphone

If you are facing some error like “Unable to check for update” or “Unable to verify update” then it’s a sign that your wifi connection is not strong enough to download your iOS update. Try to change your internet connectivity or try again after some time to resolve the network update iPhone.

Make sure you have enough storage space

To update your iPhone device it’s required to have enough storage space to successfully update to a new version. iOS 15 will take 3.24 GB of storage space to install. But you have to clear your storage approx 5 GB if you want to install updates without facing any problems.

To check the currently available space of your phone is, open your iPhone Settings, tap on General and then tap on iPhone Storage. Here you check your storage, how much space is free and how much space is full.

Your battery is low

If you are updating your iPhone and your iPhone battery is below 50% then you can’t update your iPhone. Because to update your iPhone you have at least 50% battery charged. If your iPhone battery is low then charge it and then again try to update.

Reset your iPhone

If you tried all the methods and nothing can’t happen then the last way is to reset your iPhone. And after resetting your iPhone reinstall your iOS update.
