How to update my iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 16?

Re: “I want iOS 16 on my iPhone”

You shall continue to want it, without having it, if your iPhone is an iPhone 7 Plus. The thread explains why.

There are 12 pages in this thread.....all with the same answer:

The iPhone 7 cannot be updated to iOS 16.

Not sure why you were expecting a different answer to the same question.

Yes

iOS 16 is a “no” for iPhone 7.

Since you requested BIU, an Iphone 7 can not update to iOS 16. There are now sixteen pages in this thread that confirm this.

However, it will not be long before another user asks the same question.

If you have an iPhone 7 and you want iOS 16, there is no help for you. iPhone 7 is simply not capable of being updated to iOS 16, period.

Hello ~ You can’t as you need a newer iPhone.

Impossible. We have been saying this for 18 pages.

You need an iPhone 8 to run iOS 16.

You can't update an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus to iOS 16 or higher.

No

iPhone 7 Plus cannot be updated to iOS 16.

I beg your team to let us 7 plus users to update to iOS 16 and higher

You can ask, beg, plead and anything else that you can think of, but the iPhone 7 will never be able to update to iOS 16.

If you have an iPhone 8, you can use iOS 16.

If you have an iPhone 7, you cannot use iOS 16.

iOS 16 please my iphone 7plus

Nope. Not happening. Yet newer iPhones have been de-supported from yet newer iOS.

The Instagram app requires iPhone 8 or newer.

If you have issues with the requirements for that or another app, contact the app vendor.

Or acquire a newer (used, refurb) or new iPhone.

You can do so by using the Maps app on your iPhone 7 Plus to locate the nearest Apple Store or an authorized reseller. They can set you up with iOS 17, which is 1 better than iOS 16.

Bring some money with you.

You realize you are speaking with someone who wants to put iOS 16 on their iPhone 7, right? If they can't run iOS 16 on an iPhone 7, how would you even presume they can get iOS 17, no matter how much money they bring, unless you were suggesting they buy a new iPhone?

It’s the latter; a how-to for navigating to a new or Apple refurb iPhone.

Would have been more direct to simply say navigate to an Apple Store or authorized reseller, where they will be happy to sell you a newer iPhone. But ok.........

With twenty pages of repeats? We’re all getting a little 🤪
