The option to update to iOS 16 is below, under „Also available“. It looked like this on my device:

I‘ve updated to iOS 16. It should look the same on the iPhone 8.

Thanks. Just found 16 after I had finished updating to 15.7

iOS 15.7 would be mainly targeted at devices that won’t get iOS 16, such as the iPhone 7.

I have noticed one bug on iOS 16 on my iPhone 8. After a reset the log in screen asks for my passcode but does not display the keyboard. Pressing the power button and then home button brings up the same screen but now with the keyboard. (The passcode is required at this stage to enable subsequent fingerprint access.)
