You have not. Stretch is using the 4.9 series kernel, as it was the LTS
kernel at the time of Stretch's release, and it will likely remain the
default kernel throughout the lifetime of Stretch.
Jessie is still using 3.16 series as it too was the LTS at the time that
Jessie released.
If you want the latest and greatest, you should consider installing from
stretch-backports, or use Testing or Sid instead of Stable.
