What happens? What errors?


More generally, you’ll need a Wi-Fi connection and not a hotspot, sufficient free space, no installed beta profile, and no add-on VPN client apps.


An iPhone 8 or newer is required for the current iOS 16; to iOS 16.4.1.


An iPhone 6s or iPhone 7 can get to iOS 15.


Here is how to upgrade iOS: Update iOS on iPhone - Apple Support


If that fails: If you can't update or restore your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
