Perhaps your iPhone needs updated by use of Computer & USB lightning cable?

Depending on the macOS version, you may have to choose different methods.


..That said, mine just worked; in some instance, even when it shouldn't update..

While there's a few support pages, I've bookmarked~ can't remember their name!
