I keep getting an error message when trying to download iOS 16.7. How do I fix this issue?

When updating my software to iOS 16.7 on my iPhone 12. The download pauses and I get an error message that says software update failed and an error occurred downloading iOS 16.7. I have tried downloading the software both with Wi-Fi and cellular data only to get the same error message. What do I need to do to get this issue fixed?

iPhone X, iOS 14

Hello Help_me_im_lost,


If you're unable to update your device, please check out this link, which explains what to do, and can help resolve some update issues: If your iPhone or iPad won't update


If you can’t install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS on your iPhone or iPad

You might be unable to update your iPhone or iPad wirelessly, or over the air, for one of these reasons:

* Your device doesn't support the latest software
* There isn't enough available storage space on your device
* The update takes a long time to download
* Your device isn't able to reach the update server
* The update doesn't complete


Thanks!
