Hello,


There are different ways to ensure the highest iOS that your device will support is installed on your device. An iPhone 7 Plus will update to iOS 15.7.4


This support article has instructions about updating an iPhone or iPad wirelessly --> Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


You can also use Mac and PC computers to update system software:

Update iOS on iPhone - Apple Support

or:

Update iPadOS - Apple Support


When updating, your device will update to the highest version currently available that it will support, or it will just say it is up to date and won't install anything. Apple indicates ( Unable to update my iPhone 6 Plus from 12… - Apple Community ) I need to point out the obvious and state that if you want to run a higher system version than your current device will run, that you need to buy a newer device.

Updating an iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 15:


Use a computer for this, backing up first...


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:
