If you need iOS 17, then you need to buy a much newer iPhone.


You cannot update an iPhone 7 to iOS 16 or iOS 17 – and nobody here can "take action" to send you iOS 17.


Here is Apple's list of iPhone models that are compatible with iOS 17, to help you with your shopping.

iPhone models compatible with iOS 17 - Apple Support

You can find new iPhones and Certified Refurbished iPhones for sale on the Apple Web site.


If you are considering the purchase of a used iPhone, be sure to read

The All Too Common SAD Reality of Buying a Used iPad/iPhone – Apple Community

so that you get an iPhone that has been prepared properly for resale – that is not an Activation Locked "brick" or that (surprise!, surprise!) is locked to a phone company (carrier) that you can't or don't want to use.

The iPhone 7 doesn't support iOS 17.


You will need an iPhone XR or later.


Others:


For iOS 16 you will need an iPhone 8 or later

For iOS 13-15 you will need an iPhone 6s or later

For iOS 12 you will need an iPhone 5s or later (excluding 5c)

For iOS 10/11 you will need an iPhone 5 or later

For iOS 8/9 you will need an iPhone 4s or later

For iOS 7 you will need an iPhone 4 or later

For iOS 5/6 you will need an iPhone 3GS or later

For iOS 4 you will need an iPhone 3G or later.

For iOS 3 (iPhoneOS 3 that time) The original iPhone (iPhone 2G) can support it.
