That has nothing to do with it. I have a 245GB with almost 120GB free and I had the problem. Downloading again was the solution.

Seems to be an Apple issue not a user issue.

Did For me

While I agree it would be great to be able to use FaceID for Apple Pay with the Watch unlock feature do you really need it if you are wearing an Apple Watch. Just use the Watch.

OK... Now it's installing on my phone. But Apple Watch is giving me an "Unable to Check for Update" error and repeatedly does so after tapping "Try Again." Never seen that behavior before.

I had that exact problem as well. Once my iPhone 12 Pro Max installed 14.5, the AW download started automatically.

Thank you for your ongoing hard work and commitment, Apple and team!

[whoareyouanyway]

Downloading now! Annoying that I can't download via mobile data as it is MUCH FASTER than my broadband.

 

[coolfactor]

Update is later then promised. I'm changing to Android right now

ME TOO! I'm tired of having the best mobile experience on the planet. I want PAIN and FRUSTRATION and a SUBPAR experience! Bring it!

HomePod Update Out TOO build Number to follow download very slow or its big

Did you manage to successfully update your HomePods. Mine said that the software was downloading and then suddenly disappeared. No message saying the update was installing. When I do a check it says that my accessories are up-to-date but my HomePods are still on 14.4

I’ve really appreciated Apple Pay on the watch during these times. I’ve always thought the watch was the coolest way to pay.

5G improvements
- Dual SIM support enables 5G connectivity on the line that's using cellular data on ‌iPhone 12‌ models

Well this is nice indeed

Bold: AFAIK that does not work.
You probably frase it wrong, unlock the iPhone with an Apple Watch, then use ApplePay on the iPhone, but yeah, just use the watch.
But then again, some people might not trust the Apple watch enough to pay withit.

What about opening a scorecard app, for instance to earn points/cashback, I need to scan my card for this purpose so it is handy to unlock with the Apple Watch.

Remember that if you're not ready to install, you can long-press on the "Download and Install" to get options to either Download Only or Download and Install Tonight. I did that at around 1:15pm because I was in the middle of using my phone, and am now installing it and the update was already downloaded.

Downloading here. Coiuln’t choose “Download and Install,” though—it was ignored.

 

[paulsonj72]

Blame Europeans, it's evening there.

 

[Bazooka-joe]

I think Apple have pulled the software update for HomePods as several other people having the same issue as me where the software download was there and now it’s disappeared
