Upgrade iPhone 7 iOS to 13.0

Hi

I have an iPhone 7 with iOS 12. I'd like to upgrade it to iOS 13. However when I use the device itself or iTunes the only option I get is the upgrade to iOS 15.4, which is not compatible with iPhone 7.

The latest version of iOS won't install on iPhone 7.

How can I install iOS 13 on my iPhone 7?


Thanks

iPhone 7

Call it magic or miracle!


  • installed iTunes v12.8.3.1 on a Mac (macOS High Sierra v10.13.6)
  • connected iPhone7 to Mac
  • used iTunes to upgrade to iOS 15.4
  • iPhone7 got restarted after download and install as usual
  • iPhone7 works perfectly well.


I attached a screenshot of the "About" page.


Do you know if having iOS 15.4 would cause any issues on iPhone 7?
