hind ako maka download ng apps

Read the thread. iPhone 6 Plus CANNOT be updated past iOS 12.5.7. If you are unable to download apps which require a higher level iOS version, you're out of luck with a 10 year old, no longer supported iPhone. If the apps are important to you, you'll need to retire your very old iPhone and buy a new or newer more modern iPhone. That is the ONLY solution.

I have update my phone iOS 15


Hello and welcome to the thread.


You have an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, and wish to update to iOS 15.


Nope. Not supported.


iOS 12 is the end of the line for iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 Plus; to iOS 12.5.7, currently.


You’ll need a newer (used, refurb) or new iPhone.


An iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus can update to iOS 15; to iOS 15.8.2, currently.


Any recent iPhone will be substantially more capable than an iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, or 6S Plus, as well.

Whatever app or service you are seeking to use effectively requires an iPhone 6S or newer.

You have the latest iOS for that iPhone hardware.

And if you’re going to hope for an unlikely event, hope for a huge lottery win, or a surprise inheritance.

Update iOS 15 I want it


If you want it, you need to buy a newer phone capable of running it.


For the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus – which shipped with iOS 8 when Apple introduced them in September 2014 (nearly ten years ago) – iOS 12 is the end of the line.


I would recommend that your new phone be one capable of running iOS 16 or 17. There are still many apps that support iOS 15, but in a few years, as Apple continues to release new versions of iOS, third-party app vendors who abandoned iOS 12 long ago may abandon iOS 15, too. We have already seen that in scattered instances – e.g., the Netflix app won't run on anything less than iOS 16.0.

If you can't use a phone without apps whose developers have chosen to require iOS 14, or higher, then it is time for you to purchase a newer iPhone.


The iPhone 6 Plus will never be able to run iOS 13, let alone iOS 14.
