You cannot pick and choose an iOS version. What you get is Settings > General > Software update > [All options are available here]




You need to correctly Identify your iPhone model - Apple Support



These are the iOS options based on an iPhone Model

Sorry but no matter how much you want iOS 16, It’s not gonna come on your current iPhone. Your iPhone 6s Plus has reached the end of its software updates support for the latest iOS operating system, and cannot be updated past iOS 15.8.3.


In fact, the iPhone 6s lineup are the longest supported iPhones ever released. They went through seven major iOS versions. While your iPhone has lasted a while, it’s about time for an upgrade. You have already noticed that most modern apps you want to run on it won’t be compatible.

iPhone 6 Plus Only Goes to iOS12.5.3:

Your iPhone model (iPhone 6s Plus) is incompatible with iOS16. This is because it does not meet the hardware requirements for it. So, take this as a good reason to upgrade. Apple typically grants update for 7 years after the date of releases and then ends them. If any update is created afterwards, it might be for pandemics, such as those created for COVID health concerns.
