iPhone 6 stuck at iOS 12.5

I have an iPhone 6, which doesn’t show compatibility here for an update. The iOS 15 is available and I’m still stuck at 12. I have always been the last one to get an update in comparison with my husband who has a plus. I deleted my “fidelity” app because certain functionalities were no longer working, however when I went to redownload it, it stated I needed iOS 14.1 or higher. Now I’m stuck without my original app or a new one.

What’s the point in having an iPhone if I can’t update to the latest software? I know this is like an utterance of blasphemy here, but I might as well be on an Android or Google network, since that’s the case.

The iPhone 6 was released in 2014 and discontinued in 2016. It continued to get major updates through 2018 and security updates as recently as a few months ago.

That phone is obsolete.

If you seriously think ANY android phone is going to get software updates as long as an iPhone does, go for it. Let us know how that works out for you.

All units, regardless of manufacturer, will eventually become unable to run the latest OS version. As of now, the iPhone 6s and newer can be updated to the current release.
