neither has fixed it, I don't think this problem is limited to me. IMO it's something going on Apples end
I have run into that message a few times over the years. In my experience, it usually sorts on its own. I am not aware of any mass update problem at the moment.

I found this online from today, just wasn't sure how widespread it was
This has been happening for me for the past 2 days...
It kept happening to me for 2 days. Just kept trying it and it finally worked. Trying for the AW beta produces same result.
Can confirm happening last 2 days here as well, checking for updates eventually throws an error.
It’s happening on my iPhone 12 Pro and a iPhone SE.

Why do you "don't think this problem is limited to me. IMO it's something going on Apples end?" Usually when it's something going on Apples end there are few million users complaining.
because several users have complained about it and there was an article on it today. I also know this is not a WIFI issue because everything else loads fine and works well. It's clearly apple

Same here I’ve tried restarting and everything I just left it alone on the same page as the error and it eventually showed up, same thing worked for my ipad
Out of curiosity, what makes this "urgent"?
It will be urgent if people aren't able to get their updates
We’re really the only people updating as soon as updates come out. Normally these are applied a couple of days or weeks after they’re released —by design. It’s OK that we don’t get to update for a couple of days, if frustrating.
I had it on Tuesday and Wednesday (yesterday) as well, but then it just self-resolved without me having to do anything in particular. So it was probably (or still is?) a bug on Apple’s side.
It's quite obvious its Apples end. I have 2 phones doing it, and I posted a thread on another forum last night and I got an instant reply saying he could replicate the issue.
Its not coincidence that suddenly its being discussed by a fair few on here and elsewhere.
Not everyone is constantly going into updates to check, which is why its not being discussed by millions, which like someone else said its not an important issue unless you really need to update your phone.
I only noticed because occasionally I like to check if my phone is up to date.
Clearly it's an intermittent server issue.

Someone may need a newer iOS version in order to install or update an app.
I had this on my iPad today, it persisted for many retries. When I disabled my content blocker (Lockdown, looped in via the VPN feature), the update proceeded immediately. Something to try.
I have been getting that message on the last 3 watch updates. I just wait a day or so and then the update works. Tried
turning off/ on wifi, re-paired, etc didn't help. Letting it sit a day or two worked. My iPhone has gotten this only once
