Hello,
I have an iphone 11, and when trying to update to iOS 16.4, it gets stuck at the ''verifying update'' for long time (way more than 20minutes). I tried the hard reset twice, and again the update, and the same thing happens.
iPhone 11
Since this morning that my data isn’t working, even before trying the update.
First time I was stuck in verifying update I waited for more than one hour.. the other 2 times I tried I waited more than 20 minutes ( not sure how much exactly but was long).
Now I deleted the update and am downloading again. Will wait again 1 hour as you suggest and will contact them if it doesn’t work.
thank you, kind regards
That's probably because you interrupted the update procedure, bearing in mind that it requires at least 30-60 minutes to complete wirelessly (via wifi), and your device should be plugged in during the whole process, and you cannot use cellular data (except 5G network), nor VPN, nor Low Power Mode).
If you can't go ahead, I suggest that you contact Apple Support directly, using this link:--> Contact Apple for support and service

Hello, thanks.
But now i can't even use my own data - it gives ''cellular data not working'' - ''an update is required to use mobile data'', can't really wait since i need it daily.
Waited again 1 hour. Tried on and off airplane mode, tried resetting network settings - didnt work.
I can't call support since my network is not working - cant make or accept calls or messages.
You're welcome and best of luck.
"Verifying update" is a process that requires "stable & fast" connection between your iPhone (your modem-router) and Apple servers, which can be overcharged to verify billions of iOS/iPadOS/macOS/watchOS/TVOS devices around the world.
I'd suggest you retry in a day o two.
