My iPhone XR was superseded by my iPhone 13 some 6 months ago. I wiped it and like several million other phones, it now sits in the drawer in my desk.
I decided the other day to resurrect it, and install the latest O.S. (16.5.1). It downloaded it, checked it, but when it came to the Install, it just hangs, with the rotating wheel. I've left it doing this twice – for 12 hours. So there's something wrong. Would anyone know what the problem is please?
Thanks,
Lorimer

That's very helpful Tony, I'll try that.

If you were using Wi-fi for the installation, try using a cable.
Perhaps one needs to do a "restore" before updating to the latest iOS.

My ex had an iPad that would not update. I connected it to my iMac by wire (as Gail suggested above) and ran the update from Finder (or use iTunes if you are on an older macOS). That's a third suggestion if the others don't work.
