What you can do before updating your iPhone
If what's preventing you from updating your iPhone is a lack of storage, there's an obvious solution to this: delete everything you don't need on your phone.
 

For example, you can delete old voice memos, because you will be surprised to know that even if you delete sound clips from your phone, they are not deleted immediately. Often and without realizing it, you can have tons of old voice memos taking up space on your phone. To delete it, you have to access the Phone > Voicemail option and from there delete it to free up space on your iPhone.
Like the voice memo problem, it happens to photos that you should "delete", as these aren't being deleted at this time, taking up space on your phone without you even knowing it.
 

Another good option is to delete apps you no longer use, as some apps are very heavy and take up space that you could use to update your iPhone. In the same way, video files you no longer see or podcasts you no longer listen to, you should delete them to make more space on your phone.
