Do you see an option to update to iOS 16? If not, you cannot update to iOS 16 and must go to iOS 17.


Move the phone as close as possible to the Wi-Fi router to speed the update process. Don't use other wireless devices on the network until the update is complete, as they can also really slow down the process.
