Here is how to: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


And what to do: If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support


An iPhone 7 can be updated to iOS 15.8.2.


An iPhone 7 is not supported on iOS 16 and later.


If you have apps that require iOS 16 or newer, those apps effectively require an iPhone 8 or later.
