How can I update my iPhone?

Hello,

There are different ways to ensure the highest iOS that your device will support is installed on your device. For an iPhone 6 that is iOS 12.5.7.

This support article has instructions about updating your iPhone or iPad wirelessly --> Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

You can also use Mac and PC computers to update system software: Update iOS on iPhone - Apple Support

When updating, your device will update to the highest version currently available that it will support, or it will just say it is up to date and won't offer to install anything. Apple indicates ( Unable to update my iPhone 6 Plus from 12… - Apple Community ) I need to point out the obvious and state that if you want to run a higher system version than your current device will run, that you need to buy a newer device.

An iPhone 6 cannot be updated beyond iOS 12.5.7.

iPhone 6 cannot run iOS 15 or iOS 16, if that is what you are asking about.

To run iOS 15, you will need an iPhone 7

To run iOS 16, you will need an iPhone 8 or higher
