Can I transfer my iPhone 7 to an iPhone 15 myself?

Or is it too old? It’s on ios version 15. Am unable to install any newer updates. Error indicates it’s too old. Is there a way around it or do I have to have Verizon do it? Trying to transfer using the transfer or reset iPhone in general settings.

iPhone 8, iOS 16

iPhone 7 is supported on iOS 15 and no later.


I would expect iOS 15 on an iPhone 7 to migrate to iOS 17 on an iPhone 15 just fine.


Here is how to: Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Your footer shows an iPhone 8 on iOS 16, so I’m not sure if that is somehow involved here.
