I need ios 16 in my phone


Hello and welcome to the thread.


If you are running iOS 15 (currently 15.8.1), then you are running the latest available iOS version.


iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are 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.


Any recent iPhone will be substantially more capable than an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, as well.

How many times does it need to be said in one thread that it is NOT possible to update an iPhone 7 to iOS 16 before people will stop asking the same question over and over.


Someone said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.


By that definition, people posting 15 pages of the same pointless request (to update an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus to an iOS version that it will never be able to run) is insane!
