Which has what to do with the fact that iPhone 7 is NOT capable of updating to iOS 16?

Hello~ No can do.

No, if you are asking if an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus can run iOS 16.

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.........

Not possible. Read the thread.

That is correct, an iPhone 7 cannot be updated beyond iOS 15.X.

You buy a new phone.

No

I need iOS 16

Here is one way to use that iPhone 7 to get to iOS 17.

If not that approach, then scrounge somebody trading in an iPhone 8 or iPhone X, as those models which can get to iOS 16.

Or scrounge some iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone SE 2nd, or newer, which can get to iOS 17.

Because an iPhone 7 is just not going to get its support extended to iOS 16.

How many times does it need to be said in one thread that it is NOT possible to update an iPhone 7 to iOS 16 before people will stop asking the same question over and over. Read the thread. You CANNOT EVER update your iPhone 7 to iOS 16 or higher. EVER.

But why can't we install iOS 16 updates on iPhone 7 plus

Read through the thread. It's been explained over and over and over. iPhone 7 doesn't have the hardware required to support iOS 16 or any version higher.

That is correct. You can't update an iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 16 (or higher).
