I have updated from an iPhone 6 to an 8 to XR. The iPhone 8 was damaged beyond repair. But it seems the iPhone 6 is still linked to the 8 and I cannot remove my Apple ID from the iPhone 6. I want to gift the phone to a friend but she cannot put on her ID nor install any app.
iPhone 6 Plus
The iPhone 8 has nothing to do with the iPhone 6.
Open System > Your name at the top > Sign Out
Enter your Apple ID and password as prompted to release the phone. Then erase it as new.
Don't forget to go into your account from another computer and remove the iPhone 6 from your account.

Thanks for the recommendation but when I open my account on my iPhone XR (my current phone) or on www.icloud.com, it does not show that the iPhone 6 as still linked to my account. When I open the iPhone 6, there is my profile! The problem is that the SIGN OUT button is never active!
Would it help (is it possible) to do a software update on the iPhone 6?
Thanks
Then it appears you already logged the iPhone 6 out of the account it was using. Doing that doesn't make the name of the user who set up the phone disappear. That will only happen after a full erase:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings
Since I don't want to erase my 6s to test, I believe at that point you have to enter your 6 digit passcode. Once the erase is complete, the phone will behave as new and present the Hello! screen.
How can I remove my Apple Id from my iPhone 6?
