You cannot pick and choose an iOS version. What you get is Settings > General > Software update > [All options are available here]

You don't write which iPhone you have, but below you can see your options. It is not possible to update/downgrade your iPhone to a version before or after those mentioned below.


  • Your iPhone 5S/6 can be updated to: iOS 12.5.7
  • Your iPhone 6S/7/SE 1.Gen can be updated to iOS 15.7.3
  • Your iPhone 8 or newer can be updated to: iOS 16.3.1


You can check your current version here:

Remember to connect to Wi-Fi and a charger. Your iPhone must have more than 50% power to update without a charger connected.
