I want to upgrade my iOS device to 16

iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, and older, is supported through iOS 15 at most, and no further.

A newer (used, refurb) or new iPhone is required for iOS 16 and later.

iPhone SE 2nd Gen, XR, XS, or newer is required for iOS 17.

Your iPhone is too old and its hardware is too limited.

iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, and older, is supported through iOS 15 at most, and no further.

A newer (used, refurb) or new iPhone is required for iOS 16 and later.

iPhone SE 2nd Gen, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, or newer, is required for iOS 17.

Hello and welcome to the thread.

You have an iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus, and wish to update to iOS 16.

Nope. Not supported.

iOS 15 is the end of the line for iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 Plus; to iOS 15.8.2, currently.

For iOS 16, you’ll need a newer (used, refurb) or new iPhone; an iPhone 8 or newer.

Any recent iPhone will be substantially more capable than this iPhone, as well.

Replace it. An iPhone 6s can’t get to iOS 16.

iPhone 6s is not supported on iOS 16 and later.

If you have an app that requires iOS 16 or later, you will need a newer (used, refurb) or new iPhone.

If you happen to have an iPhone 8 or newer, iOS 16 is an option, and here is how to update to a more current iOS:

You may want to update your iPhone 6s Plus to iOS 16.6 – but you can't.

The iPhone 6s Plus can run the latest release of iOS 15 – currently 15.8.2 – and nothing higher.

It is not possible. You need an iPhone 8 or higher model to run iOS 16.

Piling onto this or any other thread is exceedingly unlikely to cause Apple to reconsider their decision, as any reconsideration here would open floodgates to the same request for every other iPhone model and for every other deprecation, whether past, present, or future.

And were any extension or special dispensation granted, the results would also undoubtedly incur innumerable complaints about the lack of performance or the lack of features of the newer iOS releases on the older and inadequate hardware.

You're somewhat less unlikely to convince a third-party app developer to provide longer app support, if there's enough revenue for them to extend that support. Various app developers will support the three most recent iOS versions, and some will support older iOS versions.

What to do here? Acquire less-old iPhone model which can get to iOS 16, or preferably to iOS 17.

need to update my iPhone 6 from 15 to a 16 software. I can’t download the app for quick books so I can view paycheck details. Can it be done on this iPhone?

If you're running iOS 15 on an "iPhone 6", you have an iPhone 6s – not an iPhone 6. For the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, iOS 12.* is the end of the line. Just clarifying because there are other threads – including one 30+ page one – in which iPhone 6 users keep asking over and over how to install iOS 13.4, or 14, or 15, long after the answers to the threads make obvious that there are no such updates for the iPhone 6 (no "s").

An iPhone 6s can update as far as the latest release of iOS 15. But it can't run iOS 16 or higher. Sorry.
