Time to retire your iPhone if you need iOS 16. iOS 15 is the end of line for iPhone 7. iPhone 7 was released in 2016, going on 9 years ago.

Your iPhone 7 was released 8 years ago, and it’s hardware cannot support iOS 16. 15.8.3 is currently the highest it can go. If you have an app that requires iOS 16 you will need to get a newer iPhone.

The highest iOS you can have with the iPhone 7 is iOS 15.8.3. You cannot install iOS 16 on the iPhone 7. If an app or something is asking for iOS 16, you cannot use it. You would need a newer iPhone to get iOS 16 or higher.

Your iPhone 7 is not compatible with iOS 16 or higher.
