iPhone 13 not updating apps before and after newest IOS update?

I’ve just updated my iPhone to the newest iOS 18.3.2 and before my apps wouldn’t update and after downloading the iOS they still won’t download at all, I have plenty of storage, strong internet, I’ve even reset my phone several times and still nothing. What can I do other than buying a new phone?

iPhone 13, iOS 18

Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN. However, VPN actually reduces your privacy, it does not enhance it.
