You have told us that you have two different models. Which model do you have?


6 Plus can be updated only as far as iOS 12.5.6

6s Plus can be updated only as far as iOS 15.7


Your phone cannot be updated to iOS 16 if that is what you are asking

Your title states iPhone 6 Plus. Replace it with a newer (used, refurb) or new iPhone. iPhone 6 Plus is forever limited to iOS 12. The current iOS 16 requires iPhone 8 or newer. Any recent iPhone will be substantially more capable than iPhone 6 Plus, too.


Your text and footer here shows iPhone 6s Plus, which can be updated as far as iOS 15. You can update via Wi-Fi, or (probably better for this case, as your footer indicates iOS 12) via computer. Both update paths are described here:

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.


If you have a beta profile loaded, or have an add-on VPN client, remove it, and try again.


iPhone 8 or newer is required for the current iOS 16.
