If you have enough storage, please try and remove earlier update files to see if the problem persists


  1. Go to Settings > General > [Device name] Storage.
  2. Find the update in the list of apps.
  3. Tap the update, then tap Delete Update.
  4. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and download the latest update.



If updating wirelessly is still not working please try and update via a pc or Mac instead
