Hello,


There are different ways to ensure the highest iOS that your device will support is installed on your device.


This support article has instructions about updating an iPhone or iPad wirelessly --> Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support Read the article for recommended criteria for being able to use wireless updating.


You can also use Mac and PC computers to update system software --> Update iOS on iPhone - 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 can't go any higher) and won't install anything.


iOS 14 is no longer available. An iPhone 8 or later will only update to the latest iOS, 16.5


Note that New Rapid Security Responses are delivered only beginning with iOS 16.4.1 ( About Rapid Security Responses for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS - Apple Support )


For a list of equipment supporting iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 (and the current 16.5), read this article --> iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 are compatible with these devices - Apple Support
