Hi, I’m hoping you might be able to help: I have an iPhone 5s that sadly I’d never updated; now I’m trying to update to 12.4.7. Doing it through Finder on new Macbook Air with Catalina it keep saying update was corrupted during download; tried disconnecting, shutting everything including wifi down & just downloading: nothing worked. Now I’m downloading ipsw file from this post & it;’s taking forever: only 189mb after 3 hours and saying it will take 3 days. Am I doing something(s) wrong??? HELP!

which is good because the iPads don’t do health and my absolute iPhone feels young again!
