Why can’t I update to 16 on my SE phone. Right now I’m at 15.8 and I can’t get to my bank app as it requires 16 version and it won’t update from the Apple store up?

Why can’t I update from 15.8 to 16 on my Apple SE phone?

my bank app had an update and I can’t get on their site because I don’t have iOS 16. The bank app sends me to the Apple App Store automatically but it won’t work?

is this as high as I can go on this phone for future updates? Help please.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Please identify your specific model of iPhone SE, there are 3 different models of iPhone SE at this point.

The iPhone SE First Generation from 2016, cannot update beyond iOS 15. At the time of writing this, 15.8.2 is the most current iOS version it can run.


If you need iOS 16 or later to run your bank apps, you do need a newer iPhone. (iPhone 8 or iPhone X to run iOS 16; iPhone XS or later to run iOS 17)

Yup same here, it’s aggravating that we got a recent update but that’s not enough just because it’s not 16. Definitely love the se 1 it’s the perfect size. They discontinued the mini because they said it didn’t sell well, it’s just because we are all still using our se1 phones. The minis were bigger than these phones, they would have sold like hot cakes if they put it in the old 5s se1 body. 🤦🏻‍♂️
