Best Solution
Low Power Mode or low battery charge will pause the "Preparing Update" process indefinitely to prevent accidental power cuts during bootloader flashing. Plug your iPhone into its official wall charger and ensure battery level is above 50% before proceeding.

If your phone is stuck on a white screen with an Apple logo or progress bar during the update reboot, perform a hard recovery restart: Press and quickly release Volume Up, press and quickly release Volume Down, then press and hold the Power button until the screen goes black and the Apple logo reappears. If the system still fails to boot, consult iphones.pk DFU Mode Recovery Services.

You can only downgrade to an older iOS version if Apple is actively digitally signing that specific firmware build. Apple usually signs the previous version for 7 to 14 days after a new update release. Visit IPSW.me, select your exact iPhone model, and verify that the target iOS build is highlighted in green (Signed). If it is red (Unsigned), iTunes/Finder will reject installation during server verification. Check full flashing tools at iphones.pk hardware & flashing equipment.
