I need to update my iPhone 7 Plus

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

iPhone 7 Plus is not supported on iOS 16 and later.

If you have an app that requires iOS q6 or later, you will need a newer (used, refurb) or new iPhone.

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

Hello and welcome to the thread.

If you are running iOS 15 (currently 15.8.2), then you are running the latest available iOS version.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are not supported on iOS 16 and later.

The iPhone 7 Plus can't update to iOS 16.

If you want to run iOS 16, you must have an iPhone 8 or higher model.

That's correct. You can't update iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 16. You will never be able to update it past iOS 15.8.2.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a future 15.8.3 bug/security patch update.

But as you correctly point out, that phone will never run iOS 16 or later.

can’t update may iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 16

You are correct. It is not possible to update an iPhone 7 Plus to run iOS 16.

You need to have an iPhone 8 to run iOS 16. iPhone 7 Plus cannot meet the requirements needed to run iOS 16.

My iphone is 7 plus but i can not ios 16. How i can use ios 16

Did you read any of the posts in this thread? Clearly not. There are 24 pages here, ALL telling you it is NOT possible to use iOS 16 on ANY iPhone 7. That means you can't use it and if you need it, then you have to buy a newer, more modern iPhone.

RE: “iPhone 7 update 7+ update”

No. There will be no iOS 16 update for your iPhone 7 Plus. It cannot run iOS 16 or higher.

my iphone7plus cant on show update

The iPhone 7 Plus can't run iOS 16 or higher – so it will never show you a screen offering you an iOS 16 (or 17) update.

Did what?

Even if the iPhone 7 could run iOS 16.....(it can't).....everyhing would run in super slow motion and the phone would overheat.

Would you be interested in that type of "update"?

And would you be interested in that type of update knowing that you cannot go back to the previous iOS version that was running just fine?

The iPhone 7 Plus will never run iOS 16 or above. It sounds like you're telling us that you need a new iPhone.

Note that new iPhones sold today will probably have some version of iOS 17 installed. (The iPhone 15 family certainly will.)

Read the thread. It's been explained MULTIPLE times. But since no one seems to read the thread they post to, your iPhone is too old and lacks the hardware and RAM required to run iOS 16. If you need a higher level iOS version at this point, then it's time to retire your nearly 9 year old iPhone and buy a new iPhone.
