I bought an Apple Watch SE for my wife she has an iPhone 14 at iOS 16.4. I cannot pair them as I get message saying “iPhone Out of Date
This Apple Watch requires a newer version of iOS.”

Thanks for reaching out roncampo,
It sounds like you're seeing a prompt to update the iOS on your iPhone 14. We can help.
iOS 16.4 is out of date. You will want to update to iOS 16.4.1 (a), and you can follow this guide to Update iOS on iPhone:
Update iPhone automatically
If you didn’t turn on automatic updates when you first set up your iPhone, do the following:
1. Go to Settings> General > Software Update > Automatic Updates.
2. Turn on Download iOS Updates and Install iOS Updates.
When an update is available, iPhone downloads and installs the update overnight while charging and connected to Wi-Fi. You’re notified before an update is installed.
Update iPhone manually
At any time, you can check for and install software updates.
Go to Settings
The screen shows the currently installed version of iOS and whether an update is available.
To turn off automatic updates, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates.
Hope that helps.
Take care.
