iPhone 6s, iOS 15
Sorry, but the iPhone 6s can only be upgraded to the latest version of iOS 15.
The built in hardware does not support iOS 16 or newer.
iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 are compatible with these devices - Apple Support

The iPhone 6s can never update to iOS 16 or higher.
When the App Store tells you that you need to update to iOS 16.0 or higher to run an app, sometimes that means you need a new phone. The App Store doesn’t tailor the message depending on the highest version of iOS your particular phone can run.
After a period of time, Apple pulls of support to the newer software updates for various devices. It happens generally each year when a new version is launched. When a device loses the compatibilty to the newer version of iOS, the device falls into the ‘Vintage’ category.
so my friend, preserve the ‘Vintage’ device for your kids and now is the time to upgrade!!
iPhone 6s stuck on iOS 15 update for months
