Hey there. If the phone is an iPhone 6 (and not an iPhone 6S) then it's not supported on iOS 14. The iPhone 6 supports up to iOS 12.


There's more info on that here: iPhone models compatible with iOS 14.7 – Apple Support (UK)

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your current iPhone is capable of running, your options are either to do without, or to purchase a replacement for the outdated iPhone.

You can't install iOS 14 on the iPhone 6.

See the replies from Mr. Timmons, stedman1, and lobsterghost1 – and the first 27 pages of this thread.

Repeating the question a second and third time will not change the answer.
