Can you update iPhone 6 to iOS 14 or newer?

My iPhone 6 Plus iOS update Poblam

The iPhone 6 Plus cannot run iOS 13 or higher.

If you are running the latest version of iOS 12 – which is currently iOS 12.5.7 – there is no "iOS update Poblam." The system is working as designed. It is not offering you any updates because there are not any updates which are compatible with your iPhone. If there are apps that won't run on your iPhone because they require a higher version of iOS, your choices are to do without those apps, or to get a less outdated iPhone.

If you are running a version of iOS earlier than 12.5.7, and having trouble updating to 12.5.7, see

How to update iphone6plus to ios 14

You can't. For that iPhone, iOS 12 is the end of the line.

I also have an iPhone 6, the iOS version is very old and I dare not upgrade, afraid of running slower. But many apps require iOS 15 or above to be used, which is really confusing

There is nothing to be confused about. You have a nearly 10 year old iPhone, which cannot be updated past iOS 12. You won't be able to use any apps which require a higher iOS version until you retire your outdated iPhone and buy a newer iPhone which is capable of running iOS 15 or higher.

Update to 6 iOS 14

You can update an iPhone 6 to the latest release of iOS 12. No updates to iOS 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, or above will ever be available for that iPhone.

An iPhone 6 can't be updated beyond 12.5.7, it doesn't have the hardware required to run anything higher.

If you need a higher iOS version, you will have to purchase a newer phone.

You cannot get the new version of iOS for an iPhone 6. No matter how many times you post messages like “The new version” and “iPhone 6 update,” an iPhone 6 will never run any major version of iOS higher than iOS 12.

if you want to run iOS 17 - the new version - you will have to get a much newer iPhone.

You cannot update an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus to iOS 14.0.

if you have an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, your hardware is too old to be compatible with iOS 13.0 or anything later. If the Facebook and Instagram apps are only available for iOS 14.0 and above, then the logical conclusion is that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are incompatible with those apps. If you want to access those services, you may need to do it through Safari (if possible), or to get a newer iPhone.

You are not ready if you have an iPhone 6.

Do you have an iPhone 7?

Maybe he is ready to go out and buy a new iPhone, or a Certified Refurbished one. One would think that after 5 pages (in this thread alone), it would be clear that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus cannot run iOS 13 or higher.

Then, if your phone is compatible with a newer version of iOS, do so:

But an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus will never run iOS 13 or higher, no matter how many times you ask. An iPhone 6s or 6s Plus will never run iOS 16 or higher, no matter how many times you ask. If your phone does not offer any update, it's likely because you've reached the current end of the line for its hardware model.

If you want to run a newer version of iOS than your current iPhone is capable of running, your options are either to do without, or to purchase a replacement for the outdated iPhone.

I think you linked to the wrong article 😏

No, you will not update an iPhone 6 to iOS 14 – or to anything beyond the most recent version of iOS 12, for that matter.

If you need to run something later than iOS 12, it is time to update your hardware, by purchasing a new iPhone.

That is a true statement. And the ONLY, repeat, ONLY way to update higher than 12.5.7 is to get a newer model phone to replace your 9 year old phone. You need a 6S or newer. To run the very latest version (17) you need an iPhone XR, XS, SE 2nd or 3rd edition, iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15

Refer to the past 11 pages of this thread, and you will find that an iPhone 6 can only go as far as the latest release of iOS 12 (currently iOS 12.5.7). You cannot update an iPhone 6 to iOS 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17. They will never come to the outdated iPhone 6 – a phone first introduced over nine years ago.

I need to update my iphone 6 today

Then you need to go to a store today, and purchase a newer iPhone, because an iPhone 6 cannot run iOS 13 or higher. The only upgrade paths to a higher version of iOS involve replacing the outdated iPhone 6 with a newer iPhone capable of running a newer version of iOS.

iPhone 6 update 15 please update help me

Read the thread. You'll find out the answer is NO, not possible, not going to happen, ever. If you need a higher level iOS version, you will HAVE to buy a newer iPhone. There is NO possibility of your iPhone updating higher. NONE.
