I have an iPhone 6 with 12.4.8 iOS. When I try to update it tells me I have the latest update. I have made a recent backup on iCloud and still can’t get the 13.5 or higher updates. How do I receive the latest updates?
iPhone 6, iOS 12
There is no hardware upgrade available for any iPhone.
Options for newer iOS software are a newer or new iPhone.
Apple offers refurbished iPhones with warranties, as well as new.
Used purchases from private sales can be problematic, or fraudulent:

Based on the numbers of times Activation Lock gets discussed after a purchase where the seller then disappeared, a number of folks have gotten scammed.
An iPhone 6, or any other unit running 12.4.8, doesn't have enough RAM for 13 or above.

Thanks. I assume a phone upgrade is my best option to acquire the needed iOS updates? Is RAM an upgradable option in a phone?
