My iPhone XR is stuck on the verifying update screen So I’ve tried to update my iPhone for days now. I can’t use my cellular and the update will not work. I’ve tried resetting the networks, airplane mode, turning on off, volume up down turn off and deleting the update and trying again. I’m not sure what else I can do

iPhone stuck on verifying update This morning got an error with cellular data that says “An update is required to use cellular on this iPhone”. So tried to update to iOS 16.5 (iPhone 12 Pro Max). Update downloaded fine but then gets stuck on verifying update for over an hour. Have reset using the up volume, down volume, power hold until Apple logo appears. Deleted the update from iPhone storage page in settings, redownloaded update and same thing happened. Is there any known fix for this? My iPhone is currently useless without cellular as I will be away from Wi-Fi the next few days. Any help is appreciated, thanks !
