Hi Bex0555,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having trouble updating your iPhone. I’m happy to help.

If that doesn’t help, you’ll want to update your phone using your computer:

Take care.

This happens when you accept an invitation to update after Apple releases a newer update version. Apple's update servers don't know how to inform you of this problem, so they just puke.


Escape from this failed update either by forcibly shutting down Settings or by forcibly restarting your phone. Then, open Settings, "Check for Updates," and you should be invited to install the newest update.
