Restore to ios 15.7 from 16.0

Hello, not a fan of the new ios, is it possible to restore to ios 15.7 without plugging into a computer? I have an Icloud backup with the older version of IOS stored, does this work?

Can I restore an iOS backup onto an iPhone running an older version of iOS? Hello everyone, I've encountered an issue with my iPhone 14 Pro Max (frequent lags while scrolling) and have decided to return it, as I purchased it just a week ago. In the meantime, since I'm considering getting the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max I'd like to use my old iPhone 7, which I still have. However, I've realized that the iPhone 7 is running iOS 15, while my 14PM backup was made on iOS 16. I'm aware that there might be issues if I try to restore the backup onto a device with an older iOS version. Does anyone know how I can transfer my data to my iPhone 7 without causing any problems? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
