After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Welcome to iMore!
My suggestion would be to do a hard reset. Hold the power & home button at the same time until you see the logo. Then release the buttons and wait for it to finish. Hopefully this will stop the update and allow you to start it over again. Thanks!
