The updated and upgraded iOS 15.5 is out and updating to it can take between 10 and 30 minutes. But, this time-limit isn’t fixed in stone. There are a variety of variables that can influence how long the whole time-consuming process takes, like your internet connection, as well as the amount of memory space is available.
It was a pleasure downloading iOS 15.5 easily, however one of my friends had issues with it. I was able to get to the bottom of it and discussed what I had learned. Additionally, I looked at a deeper review of how long it takes to complete the iOS software update process takes.
How Long Will iOS 15 Take to Install?
At the moment, iOS 15.5 is ready for get and download. The time to download depends upon the OS version that you’re with. If you have an iPhone is running iOS 15 or 15,4 the latest OS version will only take about 10 minutes maximum. There aren’t a lot of changes between the two firmware packages, therefore updating the file will be less and takes less time to install.
This being said:
If it’s an older OS version that you’re using the update can take about 30 minutes. iOS 15.5 is a huge 600-700 MB in space.
Is your iPhone compatible with the Download?
While most majority of iPhones are able to run and download iOS 15.5 However, a few of them can’t. I’ve gone through iPhone models that work with it.

What is the reason iOS 15 Taking So long?
There are several possible reasons you could be having this problem that you should consider, including:
Servers are down
Apple’s servers could be down. Go to the Apple servers status to determine if it is. If so not, all to do is lie in your chair and wait until the servers are restored.
Contact Apple support and ask about the problem. They will be able to inform you when the issue will be resolved.
If the update was recently released, the server going down shouldn’t come as a shock. When iPhone users try to get new software updates and updates, the Apple server typically crashes.
Limited Storage Space Available
Your iPhone will take a while to install the firmware in case you’re running out of storage. The only solution is to delete older apps and files. Before doing this check if your storage capacity is inadequate.
The only thing you need to do is:
- Go to Settings
- Tap General
- Select [Your Name]Click on [Your Name]
- Tap the Storage
- Click on About, then choose the Capacity choice
Like we said above, you’re able to proceed and erase any previous applications and files if discovered that you’re short of space.
Here’s how to uninstall an application:
- Start by opening the home screen, and then look for the program you’d like to delete.
- Keep it in place
- Choose the Uninstall opportunity
- Tap to delete app
Here’s how to remove the file:
- Start the Files app
- Navigate to the folder that the file you’d like to erase is stored in.
- Press it down, and then click Delete.
Big Firmware Size of the Package
When the file for firmware is large It’s not a surprise that you’ll encounter issues downloading it. There’s really nothing that you can do to fix this other than to wait for the process to be completed.
The Internet Speed is Slow Internet Speed/Network Connection
If you want your update to run smoothly, you’ll require an internet connection that is stable. You can make a move towards your router if you feel your WiFi connections aren’t perfect. If not, you can connect to a different network, or turn to cellular data. Apple makes available
Routers can be a bit erratic and resets are often helpful. Here’s how iPhone people can accomplish:
- Hit the Reset button on the back of your router.
- Remove the power source
- Give it a few seconds and then reconnect the power source into
Isolated Glitch
There’s a chance that the update may take for a long time due to an isolated issue. The majority of the time restarting your phone can help.
Now, the process for restarting is different based on the iPhone model. Here’s how to restart on models that have Face ID:
- Hold and press an Volume button and a Side button simultaneously
- Slide the power slider whenever it appears
- Hold and press the Power button until you can see it
Here’s how to do it on older iPhone models:
- Hold on the power button till the Power slider appears.
- Drag it across
- Hold the Power button for a long time to turn your device back on.
If restarting didn’t work it could be that you’re facing a more complicated issue. It’s possible to step things to the next level by forcing restart. Force-rebooting is similar to the normal restart, but it’s more thorough. The entire process and application that are in operation would be shut down to eliminate the problem.
For iPhone users who have Face ID, and SE 2nd Gen users:
- Press and release the Volume Up button. Press and release the Volume Up
- Release and press the Volume Down button.
- Continue to hold on the side button till the Apple logo appears.
iPhone 7, 7 Plus:
- Hold and press the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until you see the beginning screen appear.
The iPhone 6s SE 1st Gen and older models:
- Hold and press your Power as well as Home button simultaneously until you are able to see the initial screen.
Network Error
It is possible that you are having a problem with your network. You might need to reset your network settings in order to resolve the issue. This is definitely an incredibly complex procedure but it may be the only solution that can benefit.
Be aware that you’ll erase all your custom network configurations you’ve made. It includes your settings saved to WiFi connection, Bluetooth pairings, and VPN settings as well.
Here’s how:
- Start the Settings app.
- Go to General and then tap Transfer or Reset iPhone.
- Click on the Reset Network Settings feature
- Enter the passcode for your device to verify your device’s identity.
Be aware that once the reset is complete you must establish your network settings at the top.
Final Thoughts
As previously mentioned as previously mentioned, the iOS update download and installation procedure can take as long as 10 minutes. But, there are many elements that could impact the process of updating the software. For example, a weak Internet connection or WiFi network, and the amount of iPhone storage space is left.
