Please update iOS-17


You are not speaking to Apple. Apple is largely absent from this forum, except to moderate it. Even if you.were speaking to them, you would not get an iOS 17 update for an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus.


It's not hard to guess why, The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have just 2 GB of RAM. Every iPhone that can run iOS 17 has more – usually a lot more; and has a Neural Engine that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus lack. There is no upgrade to add the hardware that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus lack. Getting that hardware requires purchasing a newer iPhone.

iOS 15 is the end of the line for the iPhone 7 Plus. There will be no iOS 16, 17, or 18 update for that phone. It is not equipped with the same hardware as iPhones that can run those iOS versions.


As indicated, the people who make the rules for the UPI payment system have decided not to allow UPI payments on any version of iOS earlier than iOS 17. In effect, they have decided to abandon your iPhone.

The iPhone 7 Plus was discontinued in Sept 2019, so it will be supported until Sept 2026.


The only iOS updates that the iPhone 7 Plus would be getting at this point would be iOS 15 updates.

About iOS 15 Updates - Apple Support


If Apple comes out with an iOS 15.8.4 bug fix or security patch release, I assume that the iPhone 7 Plus will be in line to get it. There won't be any more major iOS updates for that phone, which originally ran iOS 10.
