Even if you don’t have warranty, I’d contact Apple. They are usually good about fixing stuff even out of warranty if it’s their fault

My warranty just expired last month. I contacted them, they said it’s unfortunate but they can’t do anything now 😆 should i just wait for the next update and hope for the best?

I would 100% call back and politely ask for a Senior Advisor. I have ZERO doubt that they won't help you get this squared away for free. I would even ask if they could do an express replacement in which they put a hold for like $1,000 (USD) on your credit card/payment source and send you a replacement device. You then send your old device back and they remove the hold. There's normally a fee for this, but you can assuredly get this all taken care of for free as long as you're nice and ask for a one-time exception, considering the circumstances and shitty timing.

For express replacement you'd need Applecare+. And if OP had that they'd still be in the 2-year Applecare+ service window.

Take it from me, they can process an express replacement without AppleCare+. They can also waive the $39 fee.

Take it to an Apple Store, I’ve had situations where customer support is unhelpful but the Apple Store people do what’s right

It is possible. Just downgrade using IPSW.me (you can only restore to the green signed ones)

That’s BS you definitely still can just look up a guide and make sure you backup your phone. As long as 16.1 is being signed by Apple you can downgrade.

There isn't an official Apple-approved way, so support won't be able to mention it.

I work at Apple Support and I can give you a little advice. Try calling them and see if they can check what can they do. That helps when your device is out of warranty.

Don’t give up. This is Apple‘s fault, not yours. Be firm and tell them they need to fix it.
