The only way to update without Wifi is to use a computer on an iPhone 7. To update with cellular, you would need a 5G connection which the iPhone 7 doesn't support.

Updating an iPhone 7 Plus Without WiFi:


A. Use a Computer With Ethernet:

See my User Tip:  Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip


For future reference...

B. Updating Over Cellular:

You can only update over cellular using an iPhone 12 or later with 5G. So, updating over cellular may not be an option for you, if you do not have the corresponding model.
