You can't, you can only update to the latest version - being 16.2

You used to be able to download a previous version online and force iTunes to install it. Is that not possible anymore?

You can only do so with signed version, and IIRC Apple unsigned all the versions older than the current.

You can probably do so when you jailbreak it, bur I have no experience with that and I don't think it's the solution you're looking for.

May I ask why you don't want the latest version? It also contains some important security updates.

Don’t want or need anything later than iOS 14. 13 has suited me for a long time so I don’t want or need anything else as I don’t care about new features or so-called security stuff. I don’t even use my phone beyond text, email, GPS apps, SiriusXM (cannot download) or work related stuff (cannot download) and I do not store anything on my phone that if compromised will do anything.

If I jailbreak the phone could I install the newer versions of the apps that are causing me the trouble without updating iOS?

I do still recommend updating your iPhone to the lates iOS version, but since I understand your point of view, and I am just a random internet stranger, I don't blame you for not wanting to update.

Thank you. I’ll look in to the jailbreaking thing and if it won’t accomplish what I need i guess I’ll use what I have until the battery fails and get another phone. This’ll be my last iPhone.

Cheers!

Ask on r/jailbreak

I don’t think you can update to iOS 14, the earliest signed version is 15.6 RC but won’t hurt asking. I’d rather stay jailbroken on iOS 13, there are tweaks that help you run unsupported apps on iOS 13!
