Hello,


There are different ways to ensure the highest iOS that your device will support is installed on your device.


iPhones XS, SE (gen 2 or later), and higher will update to iOS 17.3 You cannot get 16 anymore, only 17


This support article has instructions about updating an iPhone or iPad wirelessly --> Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support Read the article for recommended criteria for being able to use wireless updating.


You can also use Mac and PC computers to update system software --> Update iOS on iPhone - Apple Support
