An iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, or iPhone SE 1 isn't capable of 16 or above; they require an A11 or better CPU. To install 15.8.3, use a computer or the Software Update function in Settings.

About iOS 15 Updates - Apple Support


"iOS 15.8.3" would be correct as of today. "Latest release of iOS 15" would also cover it, and would age better if Apple decided to release an iOS 15.8.4. Or you could word it as "the iPhone 6s cannot update to iOS 16 or later." That also would age well.


Background:

As far as I can tell, iPhones can almost always update to the latest release of the latest major version of iOS that they support. There was one case in which "latest version of iOS 10" would have been incorrect: the iPhone 5c could only update to iOS 10.3.3, whereas other iPhones for which iOS 10 was the end of the line could update to iOS 10.3.4. That was the exception which proves the rule.
