Up until iPadOS 14, my Air 2 hasn't had any issues with OS updates, but every version of 14 has failed to install.
It downloads the update and I can see it in the storage section whilst this step is happening (one of the suggested fixes is to delete it from here), but when it gets to the point where you normally confirm installing it, it displays an error message instead and when you check the storage, the update file is no longer there.
I've got ample storage available, less than 20 GB used out of 128 GB, and other than Apple's own apps, which I don't use, I only have around 20 apps I've got from the store. I don't even use this device or these apps very much, so it's not like I'm clogging it up either. I've tried downloading the updates on different networks and get the same failed outcome. App updates are fine. Apple phones and an old iPad Mini have updated to iOS/iPadOS 14 when connected to the same network.
Has anyone on here had this issue with an iPad before and how did you resolve it?
