Is your phone plugged in and connected to WiFi overnight?
Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
I didn't think Apple added automatic download and install until iOS 16.4 in..2024?

Well, the option for automatic iOS software download and installation was not even introduced until about 8 years ago, so that covers 12 years of your nonsense 20 year claim.
If you could send your iPhone to me, I'll be happy to go through it and find the reason(s) why iOS updates have not occurred more recently.
If you don't want to send your iPhone to me, try a local Authorized Apple Service Provider willing to come to your house to find the answers, since updates will run in their shop with no problems.
