I think the option for 16 will eventually show up, way down at the bottom of the Software Update screen for some reason. I didn't see it after a restart, waiting until the next day, or even after restoring from a backup.


I did see it after wiping the phone to factory settings and setting it up fresh without a restore. Now that I'm on 16 on the phone I should be able to restore my previous back up. Make sure you have a fresh backup, erase all settings, upgrade to 16, restore from backup.
