If you're referring to an iPhone 6 Plus or below, because it's not compatible with that OS. Otherwise, describe what happens when you try updating it.


If you're on an unit capable of 16 or 17 and you're trying to install exactly 15, because Apple stopped signing it. There is no solution in this case.

The hardware model of your iPhone determines how far you can update that iPhone.

  • If you have an iPhone 5s, 6, or 6 Plus, you can only update it to iOS 12. No update to iOS 13 or later is – or will be – available.
  • If you have an iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, SE (1st generation), 7, or 7 Plus, you can only update it to iOS 15. No update to iOS 16 or later is – or will be – available.
  • If you have an iPhone 8, 8 Plus, or X, you can only update it to iOS 16. No update to iOS 17 or later is – or will be – available.
  • You need an iPhone XS or higher to update to iOS 17.


If you cannot update your iPhone far enough to meet the minimum requirements for the apps that you "need", that may be an indication that it is time to buy a new iPhone.
