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.

Not possible. Read the thread you've posted to. There are 17 pages of NO not possible responses you'll see.
An iPhone 7 Plus cannot update past iOS 15. You need a new phone.
No, you cannot run iOS 16 on an iPhone 7. 15.8.2 is the highest it can go.

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.
Yes, I should have said that while updates for an iPhone 7 won't exceed iOS 15.x.x, 15.8.2 is the current highest an iPhone 7 can go currently.

yes, definitely if you are going to fund me for this purchase.
Not sure why you think I should fund you anything? If you need a new phone, that's on you to fund. But need has nothing to do with the fact that you CANNOT EVER go higher than iOS 15 on an iPhone 7.
You are correct. You can't update an iPhone 7 to iOS 16......because it is impossible.
Impossible to update the iPhone 7 to iOS 16 or iOS 17.
But, you can update to iOS 15.8.1
Did you read any of the other answers in this post?
iPhone 7 Plus cannot run iOS 16.
If you want to run iOS 16, you need an iPhone 8 or higher model.

18 pages of not one answer suggesting it is even remotely possible might make one not ask the same question so many others have asked, which ALL have been told, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. But I guess taking the time to read any of the posts in a thread you just responded too, isn't clear enough.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE to update an iPhone 7 to iOS 16. It is NOT POSSIBLE to update to iOS 17. And it will NOT BE POSSIBLE to update next year, the year after or any year after.

I wish IPhone to grant users to IPhone 7plus access to Microsoft office since it can’t upgrade to 16.
The App Store Preview pages for the iPhone versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint say that these apps require iOS 16.0 or later. You are free to contact Microsoft and ask them to release versions of their apps that will run on iOS 15.8, but I rather doubt that they are going to do so.
