Several iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus owners have expressed their displeasure after iOS 16 is not supported.

iPhone 7, including the iPhone 7 Plus, has been cut from support for iOS 16, which will be released in the fall of this year. The oldest iPhone that supports iOS 16 is the iPhone 8 and later.

Many iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus owners, surprised that their iPhones are limited to iOS 15, have expressed their frustration on Twitter and the MacRumors forums. A9 gets iPadOS 16 update

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, released in September 2016, feature a more modern A10 Fusion chip than the A9 chip in the 5th-generation iPad, so in theory iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus should receive the iOS 16 update as the iPad version 5 Get iPadOS 16 update

The MacRumors website speculates that space is the main factor preventing the iPhone 7 from getting iOS 16, but the iPhone 7 Plus with higher memory should go. But to prevent user confusion, Apple decided to stop supporting both of them.

Apple disappointed me because it turned off software support for no reason for iPhone 7, 7 plus, MacBook Air 2017, MacBook Pro 2016. We want ios 16 and macOS Ventura on these devices because they are still capable. @Apple that’s a big shame for you.

Apple not supporting ios 16 on iPhone 7 might be most weird thing i ever saw
Worst part is
Ipads that are LESS powerful than iphone 7 wilk get the new ios
What kind of logic is that apple?

iPhone 7 and 7 plus are out of iOS 16. Mine is 8 Plus but even if mine comes out next year, I won’t change iPhones. Seriously, I refuse to get one of those iPhones with a full screen, which are the worst with this horrible screen.
