If your iPhone 6 is running a version of iOS lower than iOS 12.5.7, and there is not enough storage space to update to iOS 12.5.7, you may need to offload apps from your iPhone, or delete apps and content from your iPhone.


Alternately, you could try updating the iPhone 6 to iOS 12.5.7 with the help of a Mac or PC. I am not sure whether this reduces free space requirements significantly, but this article seems to suggest that it might.

Thanks for no help


The forum software shows that you posted "Thanks for no help" three minutes after you started the thread.


This is not a real-time chat support line.


Often you will see quick responses to posts, just because there are multiple people reading these forums who are in the habit of trying to help others. But it is not realistic to expect instant answers. It may be hours before a message gets a response, even if the question is clear, and regards some issue with which people can help. That is the nature of an Internet bulletin board. Not just this one, but virtually all of them.
