General info: Learn how to update your device manually if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or if you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC.

Is there a reason you want to do it from your computer rather than over the air?


Do you have a beta version on the phone (go to Settings/General/Software Update, and if it shows any version other than 15.6.1 that is the problem)? If you do, see→How to uninstall iOS beta software - Apple Support


If you want to use your computer, see→Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If you have Windows it must have the latest version of iTunes, from https://itunes.com

You can’t update to iOS 14, but you can update it to iOS 15.6.1. Go to Settings/General/Software Update and follow the instructions.


To update over the air from the phone all of these requirements must be met:

  • You need at least 6 GB of free storage
  • You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network (and not a personal hotspot)
  • The phone must be charged to at least 50%, and preferably plugged in so it stays above 50% during the update
  • The phone must not be in Low Power Mode
  • The phone must not be connected through VPN, and it may be necessary to delete any VPN apps and VPN profiles
  • The phone cannot be in Airplane mode
  • You cannot still have a beta version installed on the phone
  • You cannot have a previous version that was downloaded, but not installed - go to Settings/General/iPhone Storage to look; if you find an iOS installer, delete it


If you can't meet all of them you can still update using your computer.
