Sorry, it is not possible.

iOS 10.3.4 is the latest iOS version for iPhone 5c, can’t be update to a higher iOS.


Oh yes, most apps require iOS 14 or later.

Considering a newer type of iPhone?


For example -> WhatsApp will stop supporting iPhones with iOS 10 and iOS 11 at the end of October (October 24, 2022).

As a result, the chat app no longer works on the old iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C.

From then on, a minimum of iOS 12 is required.

 

If you want to buy a newer iPhone, buy at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Reseller in your region.

Or call Apple in your region see: Contact Apple for support and service

For reference...

Updating your iPhone:

Try updating your iPhone first. Do so, through a computer. If you cannot update it, then it is likely out of date. As for getting the options back(if they existed), you'd have to perform a few things, perhaps leading to a reset. So, try the following, reporting if the update works...


Updating an iPhone:


Determining if an Update will Install:

How to do so...

A. Verify Compatibility:

Identify your iPhone model. The first thing that comes to mind in incompatibility being the culprit. So, confirm the model of your iPhone. If iPhone model is incompatible with iOS15 then it is because you iPhone does not meet the hardware requirements for this iOS version(s).


B. If Compatible...


1. Back Up First:

IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update


then...


2. Proceed with the Update:
