Depends on a number of factors......


The Internet connection speed plan that you have with your ISP.

The distance the phone is located from the Wi-Fi router

How many other Wi-Fi devices are using the same network at the same time

Whether your phone connects to the Wi-Fi at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz

Interference from other nearby Wi-Fi networks


On a 500 Mbps Internet connection with the iPhone located in the same room as the Wi-Fi router and 3 other Wi-Fi devices on the network, the update took about 15 minutes.


If its been more than 30 minutes, move the phone close to the Wi-Fi router and turn off as many other Wi-Fi devices as you can until the update completes.
