My iPhone 14 pro max was upgraded to iOS 26 three days ago. On the first and second day after upgrade, the phone was all right. Starting from today in the morning, the sentence "Checking for Updates" is still running on the screen even if Wi-Fi and Mobile network is turned off, even after network settings is reset. Could anyone assist me how to resolve this annoying issue?
