I don’t update

That's correct. On an iPhone 6, you don't update to iOS 14. The iPhone 6 cannot run iOS 13 or higher, so if your iPhone 6 is already running the latest release of iOS 12 – currently iOS 12.5.7 – it won't offer any further updates.

An iPhone 6 can't be updated beyond 12.5.7, it doesn't have the hardware needed to run anything higher.

If you need a higher iOS version, you will have to purchase a newer phone.


To update to 12.5.7 -

Sorry, that is not possible.

An iPhone 5S, 6, or 6 plus can't be updated beyond 12.5.7, it doesn't have the hardware needed to run anything higher.

If you need a higher iOS version, you will have to purchase a newer phone.
