Sorry but an iPhone can only be updated to the most current applicable iOS …


… which for an “8” is iOS 16.7.10.


If you’re really running iOS 14 as your tagline indicates; it’s generally considered most reliable to perform such a “generation skipping” update using a computer and a cable (vice wirelessly).
