Updating an to iOS15:

Your device reads "Earlier iPhone models". So, what's the model?


Update Using a Computer:

Have a Computer Handy? If so, try using a computer to update. Go here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. If any updates are available, they will install, sure enough. Updates will only install to the most-recent compatible one. So, if compatible 19th iOS16, then iOS16 will install, and iOS15 will not.
