Reading your thread, you've marked this as "Helpful" and "Solved". So, if that is not the case, then read the following...


Updating an iPhone 6s

Only the latest-compatible version would install.


A. Update Using a Computer:

Have a Computer Handy? If so, try using a computer to update. Go here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. If any updates are availabe, they will install, sure enough.


B. Connecting Using Ethernet:

If WiFi is giving you issues on the computer, then connect through Ethernet, going directly into your router. For a Mac (or PC) that does not have Ethernet, this would be the adapter to use: Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple

What about iOS 16.0?


If your iPhone is on one of these lists, you can update to the latest release of iOS 16 or 17 (as appropriate). If it is an earlier model than the ones on the iOS 16 list, there is no update for your iPhone to either one.


iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 are compatible with these devices - Apple Support
