you can't upgrade the 4S and many other older devices either, it lacks the hardware necessary for what iOS 10 was designed to do, its also Apples way to getting you to buy a new phone

you can see what devices are eligible here:

Now, excuse me while I go offer feedback on this page that looks like an amateur cobbled together from pintrest.
