I am trying to change a security setting but it says I’m not allowed due to my organisation does not allow me. Why? This is my personal iPhone and it is not supposed to be controlled by an administrator of any sort. It is an out of the box Apple Store bought 16e.

Did you ever let someone in the IT Dept at your company use your phone, even for only a few minutes?
What information appears if you tap
Settings > General > VPN & Device Management
Do you see something like an MDM Profile listed?

Discuss with options your employer.
Yes but this is a bug, has been discussed here before.

What constitutes “appropriate” is what needs to be clearly understood by all entities.
Discuss options and alternatives with your employer.
If you are talking about Wired Accessories allow setting, it is a bug and seems to be in UK
If that is it, then report the bug here https://apple.com/feedback
If not that then post screenshot
Yes indeed … this problem may indeed be THAT issue.
(I followed your “lead” that it was apparently less than definitive)
But regardless the OP could better understand what “controls” - if any - their employer might possibly have over their device.
Not at all. As stated before, my personal phone, and no one has ever had it in their hands but me. Yes I do connect to company WiFi but that’s it. It’s not the most tech savvy workplace either, and no boss or anyone else knows anything about these kinds of stuff here. No IT department present.

Europe maybe. There are American posters here who do not have the same problem. I thought it may be Lightning bug but you have USBC.
Please can you report it, thank you https://apple.com/feedback state your iOS version in the report text if it is out of date (as usual)
PS the only organisation I belong to is bored pensioners.
Hopefully the author will confirm their location, and area of settings concerned.
I reported it in Feedback Assistant too.
Good deal. 👍
Certainly hope that we DO hear back on this one.

Some iPhone settings locked by “My organisation” – but this is my own personal phone
