I'm sorry about this but your iPhone 6 is not going to get any more updates

the iPhone 6 is a really old phone and apple has stoped giving it updates because it's getting older and slower

you can get a new phone but you may not have too as long as all of the apps you use still support the older iOS on your iPhone

you can buy a new android phone or iPhone

I would recommend buying a used iPhone 11 or XR or se 2nd gen if your budget is low

i have the iPhone XR and it works great!

and the other 2 iPhones are faster than the XR so you should have a great experience on those iPhones too!
