What if the update just doesn’t finish updating

"I just tried to update 16,5.1 and it never finished updating so I’m wondering why what happened"

Troubleshooting Failed Updates:

A. Why the Issue?

You lost connection to Apple's server. Perhaps Wi-Fi dropped? Or, perhaps there was too much data being swollen up on your part while connecting to a Public LAN (i.e. at a Library or a Campground)? Or, perhaps there is utility work down the street.

B. Getting Out of a Boot Loop:

Is your iPhone stuck in a Boot Loop? When this update installation stalls while in the process, this can result in your iPhone being in a Boot Loop. So, refer to my user tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - User Tip

C Update Using a Computer:

Have a Computer Handy? If so, try using a computer to update. Go here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. If any updates are availabe, they will install, sure enough.
