iPhone not updating

As above, I have two supposedly identical i phones only difference is capacity one is 16 gb with problem, the other is 32gb no problem.


Both are: Model Name : i phone 6 plus


ModelNumber on Problemphone is MCA92B/A

Serial Number : FK***5QR


The problem is that the larger capacity model has upgraded to 13, but the smaller gb phone says up to date at 12.


Both were purchased as reconditioned. at the same time from reputable seller, but are out of their one year warranty and they have been at a loss to explain the problem I am having. The information provided is directly from the phone itself.


Both phones are working perfectly well other than this.


Many thanks in advance of your replies.

An iPhone 6 Plus can only be upgraded to iOS 12. It can not run iOS 13.


if the other phone you have is on iOS 13, then it is not an iPhone 6 plus.


It may be a 6s plus which can run iOS 13 and the phones are very similar.


Can you provide the model number for the phone which is running iOS 13 then we can check which model it is.
