No update to iOS 13 or higher for the iPhone 6.


Wanting to update the version of iOS on the phone won't change that. The iPhone 6 originally shipped with iOS 8, which implies that it got updates to iOS 9, 10, 11, and 12. That's the end of the line for the iPhone 6.


If iOS 12 is now too outdated for the apps you want to run, what that tells you is that it is time to buy a new phone.

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 16.7.7

• If you have an iPhone SE (2nd generation or later), or XR through 15, you can update to 17.5.1

lobsterghost1 provided the answer in the post immediately preceding yours:


"Did you read this one page thread? If you did, then you already know the answer. If you have an iPhone 6, you don't update to iOS 15, because you CAN'T update an iPhone 6 any higher than iOS 12.


Buy a newer phone if you need iOS 15."


That answer is not going to change.
