You can't do that, sorry.

See why in this compatibility chart:

An iPhone 6/6 plus 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.


• If you have an iPhone 5S or 6/6plus, the highest you can update to is 12.5.7

• If you have an iPhone 6S through 7, or SE 1st generation, you can update to 15.8.2

• If you have an iPhone 8 or X, you can update to 16.7.10

• If you have an iPhone SE (2nd generation or later), or XR through 15, you can update to 17.6. 1

iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and earlier are supported with iOS 12 at most, and no later. Currently that is iOS 12.5.7.


Any iPhone currently running iOS 12.5.7 is incapable of running iOS 13 or any newer iOS versions.


If you have an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, or earlier and want iOS 15 or later, you will need a newer or new iPhone.


iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone SE 2nd gen are the oldest iPhone models that will run the current iOS 17 and the upcoming iOS 18. All are substantially more capable than an iPhone 6, as well.

How can I upgrade my iPhone 6 plus


Upgrade in what sense? If you mean the version of iOS, then has been said several times now, iOS 12.5.7 is the last version your iPhone can run and there's no way to run a more recent version. If you mean you wish to upgrade to a newer iPhone, you can back up your current iPhone, get a new(er) phone, then restore it from that backup.


If neither is what you mean, please clarify, or, better, start a new topic of your own. You'll be more likely to get quick and helpful responses (and it's more polite to the original poster).


Regards.

FYI, I believe that if one wanted 5G cellular connectivity – on top of the ability to run iOS 17 and 18 – one would want an iPhone 12 series, or newer, phone.
