are you for real, and what iPhone do you use?

I am for real; a large percentage of connectivity problems, especially after an iOS update, are caused by incompatibility between a VPN profile and the iOS networking subsystem; when installed a VPN configures itself to the hardware and current iOS version. Unable to verify is either a network problem or an Apple download server problem. As→Apple - Support - System Status shows no current problems, the issue is either with your iPhone’s networking or a problem with your Wi-Fi router if that is what you are using or with your cellular network connection if you are using that.
