I'm not able to update my iPhone to iOS 16

I have the same problem with my iphone 12. I followed the instructions on my macbook pro (with Monterey, so no itunes but via the Finder app) but it says that my ios is up to date.


I'm located in Italy, so i thought that the iOS wasn't out here just yet... but as of today (15th of september) i saw many many youtube italian users reviewing it (so no beta developer version).


So why am i not able to update?

Thanks


Alfonso

Certain this is Compatible?…

Verify the compatibility, then proceed with the update…


In depth…

Updating an iPhone:


What to Update: Installed apps and the iOS.

How to do so...


A. Verify Compatibility:

Identify your iPhone model. The first thing that comes to mind in incompatibility being the culprit. So, confirm the model of your iPhone. If iPhone model is incompatible with iOS 16then it is because you iPhone does not meet the hardware requirements for this iOS version(s).


B. If Compatible...


1. Back Up First:

IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update


then...


2. Proceed with the Update:
