Have you deleted the VPN PROFILES? Deleting the VPN app does not delete the profile(s), which is where the problem might lie.

I am having the same issue. Moreover, this version seems to have a problem with the Sims, as they have stopped working since my last update.

I tried deleting the 3rd party VPNs, and it is still not working.

Apple support, any other idea how to fix this problem?

I have no VPN or profiles and I have plenty of storage. I have done a hard reset. I still can’t verify & install the 18.5 update. Please help.

Perhaps a long shot:

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.
