iphone stuck at verifying update even after hard reset

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.

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
