If your iPhone is an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, it cannot run iOS 16.
Question marked as
If you have an iPhone 7, you can update it to iOS 15.8, but you CANNOT update it further to iOS 16.
Go to Settings > General > Software Update and you are offered the opportunity to update to iOS 15.8, choose update. You need to be connected to Wifi and its advisable to be plugged in.
If you want an iPhone which can run higher than 15.8, then you need to buy a newer, more modern iPhone.

Then, you need an iPhone 8. iOS 16 cannot be installed on an iPhone 7.

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.

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?

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.
