You cannot update an iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 16 or higher. That phone – which originally shipped with iOS 10 – no longer receives major iOS updates.


You can update an iPhone 7 Plus to the latest release of iOS 15 – currently iOS 15.8.4. Since you are running iOS 15.8.2 now, it would be a good idea to update to pick up the security fixes in iOS 15.8.3 and iOS 15.8.4.
