How to upgrade my iPhone 7 to iOS 16?

An iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, or iPhone SE 1 isn't capable of 16 or above; they require an A11 or better CPU.

I need iOS 16

You need an iPhone 8 or higher model to run iOS 16. No go on an iPhone 7.

Phone 7 update 16.1

You have an iPhone 7.

You need to have an iPhone 8 if you want to update to iOS 16.

If you need iOS 16, then it's time to buy a newer more modern iPhone which is capable of running higher iOS versions than an iPhone 7 can run. No one can help you install an iOS version which cannot be installed on your iPhone. And iOS 16 most definitely CANNOT be installed on iPhone 7.

The iPhone 7 cannot run iOS 16 or higher. Since the developers of the Netflix app have decided to require iOS 16 or higher, you will need to get a newer iPhone if you want to run that app. I would suggest an iPhone that is on the list of phones that will be compatible with iOS 18 (when it comes out).

Hello~ Unfortunately, you can’t. You need a newer model iPhone.

Tell me how to download iOS 16 on my iPhone 7

You need an iPhone 8 or higher model if you want to run iOS 16.

You need an iPhone XR or higher model if you want to run iOS 17.

The answer has already been given several times, you can't install iOS 16 on an iPhone 7.

The iPhone 7 is 7+ years old.

Buy a new phone that will run iOS 16 or iOS 17.

If your iPhone is an iPhone 7, there is no "how." You don't, because you can't.

No

I cant use UPI in my iPhone 7 plus but it's have IOS 15 what can i do

I have seen other threads here where people are asking how to upgrade phones that can't run iOS 17, to iOS 17. From what I've read, this is due to NCPI forcing new security requirements on all vendors of UPI apps.

NCPI apparently asked Apple and Google to add new security mechanisms for UPI to iOS and Android. Apple added the requested security feature to iOS 17. Earlier versions of iOS do not have this new feature – and NCPI now only allows use of UPI when the feature is present. So, basically, NCPI locked out every iPhone user whose phone is too old to run iOS 17.

Major banks and credit unions in the U.S. typically require only iOS 15 – and sometimes only iOS 14 – to run their apps.

You could try to get NCPI to back down, and then try to get UPI app vendors to support iOS 15. But I suspect the chances of this are slim and none.

Your options are to stop using UPI, or to buy a new phone.

Bummer. go buy a phone that supports the required version of ios. You’re not going to install it on your iPhone 7.

Netflix ha decidido no apoyar ya a iOS 15. Apple no tenía nada que ver con esta decisión.

Es lamentable, pero si desea usar Netflix, necesitará tener un iPhone que sea capaz de ejecutar iOS 16.

Ese sería un modelo de iPhone 8 o superior.
