Error 1110 has struck many iPhone users quite recently. The issue was reported to happen when trying to upgrade a device from older versions of IOS 14 to IOS 15. Many users of iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12/ Mini, XR, XS, and other models had their device looping the Apple logo over and over again. The same problem occurred while trying to update an iPhone using iTunes as an alternative method. Users continued facing the same error with the following text: "The iPhone could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (1110). 06A1.0456". In general, error 1110 means iPhone does not have enough memory space to install new updates. Although the logical solution could be to free up some space on a device, nobody can do it due to the Apple logo stuck on the screen.

However, if you are still one of those few facing the error for some reason, follow this couple of steps to get over the problem.
