Check your iPhone type & iOS version -> Go to: Settings -> General -> About.

Outdated iPhones are not eligible for an iOS update to iOS 16, for example:

iPhone 3 / 3G / 4 / 4S / 5 / 5c / 5S,  6 , 6 Plus.

If you have an outdated iPhone that cannot be updated to iOS 13 or later, many apps will not be able to download.

Outdated iPhone no longer meets the requirements for many apps.
