Your iPhone cannot go past iOS 15.8.5 as of now, but will never be able to run iOS 16 and beyond. I believe about all UPI Payment apps require iOS 17 or above. The reason for this is likely because UPI payment fraud is very prevalent in India, so the NPCI (National Payment Corporation of India) asked smartphone companies to combat this fraud. Apple released an update, and it came in iOS 17. And the NPCI was so willing to discontinue support for older iPhone models as a result so all the UPI apps had to make it compatible with that software.
