First of all, you need to check whether ios update version is available for your iPhone model . Retry to update your iPhone os .

Before starting the update, make sure your phone has enough battery power. If the battery level is low, charge the battery before starting the update.

Check that your phone is set to the correct date and time. With a wrong date or time, your phone won’t be able to access the updates.

Make enough space on your phone for the update. If necessary, remove a few unwanted apps or other large items. To see how much free space you have on your phone, on the start screen, swipe left to the apps menu, tap Settings > About, and check the amount of available space.

Free up space on your computer, as you need enough space to download the software update, and to save a backup of your existing phone software, settings, and media files.
