After the conclusion of Apple’s WWDC 2021 conference, legions of Apple fans were eager to get their hands on the new iOS 15 beta to try out the new features first hand.
However, many users report that the upgrade has been stuck in “Ready Update”, “Verify Update”, or the device cannot boot, is stuck in white apple, restore mode, etc.
In this article, I’ll show you what to do when the iOS 15 Beta upgrade gets stuck in the update process. These methods can also be used to upgrade iOS 15 to other official or beta versions, so bookmark them!
Method 1: Force a restart of the iPhone
Make sure your iPhone is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network, because some iOS updates, especially major updates, cannot be downloaded or installed using cellular data.
If your iPhone’s Internet connection is working, the upgrade process may get stuck due to a software crash. We can quickly resolve these system problems by forcing a device restart.
The exact steps to force a restart depend on the iPhone model you are using:
- For iPhone 8 and later: Quickly press the volume up button, then quickly press the volume down button, and finally hold down the movie button until the Apple logo appears.
- IPhone 7/7P: Hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time. Release both buttons when the Apple logo flashes on the screen.
- IPhone 6S and earlier: Hold down the Home and power buttons at the same time and release them when the Apple logo appears on the screen.
Method 2: Delete the updated file
When an iOS device updates, it first downloads the update file from Apple’s servers. When the update process gets stuck, you can force your iOS device to restart the update by deleting the update file.
- Open the iPhone’s Settings, scroll down and click General.
- Next, click on “iPhone Store.” In this menu, scroll down to find the iOS 15 Beta Update file.
- Then click Delete Update to delete the update file from your device.
After the deletion is complete, go to Settings > Regular > Software Update and click “Download and Install” to restart the software update.
Method 3: iOS system repair
If your iPhone is still stuck in the update process, or if it’s stuck in the white apple, recovery mode or more, it’s time to fix your iOS.
With the help of the Fengke iPhone Repair Tool, you can completely fix all kinds of system problems caused by the iOS 15 Beta Update. This tool supports one-click fixes for various iOS issues, such as white apples, non-stop restarts, stuck in recovery mode, failed updates, etc.
Operation steps:
Step 1: Download and install the repair tool on your computer. After starting the software, select the “Standard Fix” mode.
Note: The standard repair mode supports the repair of more common system problems; Advanced repair mode supports complex iOS issues and erases data on the device.
Step 2: Connect your device to your computer with a data cable. Put the phone into DFU mode or recovery mode according to the software interface prompts.
Step 3: Click to download the firmware of the system. By default, the software downloads the latest iOS system officially released by Apple which is supported by the device.
Step 4: After the firmware is downloaded, click “Start Repairing”. The whole process should take about 10 minutes, just wait for the repair to finish.
