Can I choose which parts of an iOS update to install on my iPhone?

i Want to update my iPhone to the latest version but I only want certain parts of the update. Does anyone know if you have the choice to select only what you want?

Updates are ALL or NOTHING. Apple owns the software on your phone and as users we don't get to choose the components of iOS we want.
