iOS 16 is now on more iPhone models than ever before because it has been released around the world over the last few months. The latest version of Apple’s patented operating system (OS) has important improvements that make the device run better and work better.
Apple’s software support is well-known, and the company is known for putting the latest updates on older hardware. Still, it’s always helpful to know which devices are officially supported by iOS 16.
This will help users understand what their options are. Users can also choose to get the updates if their devices are able to do so, which makes sense. iOS 16 adds some useful improvements to the features that were already there.
It’s easy to get iOS 16 on an iPhone, as long as it’s one of the models that can.
Apple has a list of the iPhones that can be upgraded to iOS 16 and are on that list. The process for the update is pretty simple, and it’s not hard to get it done. By following the steps below, anyone can get the latest version of iOS on a device that can run it.
- Connect your iPhone to the charger to make sure it doesn’t run out of power during the installation process.
- Use the Wi-Fi part to connect to the internet.
- Click on Settings.
- Go to General.
- Tap the Software Update button.
- If Automatic Updates is turned on, it should show you the options you can choose from.
- If you can’t see anything, check for updates.
- If the model can get an update to iOS 16, it will show up in the list of available options.
- Tap “Install Now” to get started.
- Or, it might not have been downloaded yet. In that case, the option will be called “Download and Install.”
- Once the process has begun, be patient and wait until the update is done.
In June 2022, iOS 16 was first released as a developer beta, which only developers could use. The stable version came out on September 12, 2022, after being tweaked and tested for two months. Since the iPod Touch wasn’t being made anymore, it was the first OS made just for iPhones.
As was said above, Apple has a list of official devices that work with that version:
