iPhone 7 Plus stuck on iOS 15.8

I am currently on a iPhone 7 Plus and although I don’t mind the iOS level there are a lot of apps I cannot download due to it not being iOS 16. I am currently on iOS 15.8 and Was wondering if there are any ways I could update to iOS 16

Earlier iPhone models

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. Try downloading the applications to a newer unit on the same Apple ID first.
