Hey RobinSittard,


From the screenshot it doesn't appear you're connected to a power source, and it looks like the battery level is possibly below 50%. If you haven't, connect to a power source to see if the update will complete. If not, you can force restart your new iPhone, set it up as a new device, update the software, then restore and transfer your data. Here are guides to help:


  1. Force restart iPhone - Apple Support to get the setup assistant to restart the process
  2. When able, choose to set up as a new device
  3. Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
  4. How to factory reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support to reach the set up assistant
  5. Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Let us know how it goes.


Take care!
