Hello,
There are different ways to ensure the highest iOS that your device will support is installed on your device.
Any equipment currently running iOS 12.5.7 can't be updated to anything higher.
An iPhone 5S, 6, or 6plus, will only update to iOS 12.5.7
iPhones 6S through 7, and SE(gen. 1), will currently only update to iOS 15.8
An iPhone 8 and later will update to 16.7.2
iPhone XS and higher will update to iOS 17.1.2

When updating, your device will update to the highest version currently available that it will support, or it will just say it is up to date (and can't go any higher) and won't install anything. If you want to run a higher system version than your current device is capable of running, you need to buy a newer device.
