Hello Xlimk,


We would like to see how we can help you with your iPhone. Are you in the middle of the Quick Start process? Your iPhone 6 must be using iOS 12.4 or later, to complete that process. Are you currently having issues updating the old iOS? If so, check out the steps in this link: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't update


Cheers!
