That's not technically possible, sorry.

You must update to iOS 14.0 in order to download and use this application

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

I phone 6x plus iOS 14 please


What do you mean by "6x"?


If you are asking about an iPhone 6s Plus – a more recent iPhone than the one this thread is about, it can run the latest version of iOS 15, but nothing later.


If you are asking about an iPhone 6 Plus (no "s"), then just as with the iPhone 6, iOS 12 is the end of the line.

You just posted to a message thread in which your question has been answered over 100 times. in the future it would be more productive if you read the messages in a thread before posting another “me too” question.

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 They will never come to the outdated iPhone 6 – a phone first introduced over nine years ago.
