How to update iOS 16 in 7 plus

For the iPhone 7, which came out nine and an half years ago, and originally ran iOS 10, iOS 15 is the end of the line.

Google has decided to stop supporting your iPhone with their YouTube app. You could try accessing the YouTube Web site using Safari. But if you want to use the app, you will need a newer phone.

Open Settings ➢ General ➢ Software Update.

If you get the message; "iOS is up to date", then your iPhone has reached the end-of-life support for Software Updates to the latest iOS operating system, depriving you of new features created many years ago.

Many modern apps are not compatible, limiting the usability of your device.

You are invited to visit an Apple retail store to discuss your iPhone upgrade options.

Since your iPhone is too old for a trade-in, the only option is to recycle it for free. ♻️

Good luck! 👋🏼😉
