The public beta version of iOS 16.1 has rolled out to compatible iPhones. This means plenty of bug fixes and a bunch of new features are getting ready for launch. iOS 16.1 delivers a long list of capabilities, with even more functionality coming in updates later this year.
Every year there are some iPhone models that can't support the latest version of iOS. While Apple supports hardware for many years, at some point there are limitations preventing an update.
iOS 16 cannot be installed on the iPhone 7 and earlier. This means that the iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, and original iPhone SE (1st generation) are stuck on iOS 15.
