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.

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.
