That is correct, with an iPhone 7, you need to connect to a computer or WiFi to update. you can only update over cellular with an iPhone 12 or higher and a 5G connection.


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


• If you have an iPhone 5S or 6/6plus, the highest you can update to is 12.5.7

• If you have an iPhone 6S through 7, or SE 1st generation, you can update to 15.7.8

• If you have an iPhone 8 or higher, or SE 2nd or 3rd generation,you can update to 16.6.1


Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
