Your iPhone 6 has reached the end of its software updates support for the latest iOS operating system, and cannot be updated past iOS 12.5.7. If you are referring to the iPhone 6s, then you can update up to 15.8.3 in Settings > General > Software Update.


You are also invited to visit your nearest Apple Store or Apple Store Online to check out the latest iPhone models.

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 15.8.3

• 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 17.7 or 18
