iPhone 6plus remain stuck at 12.5.6

My iPhone 6 Plus is updated to the latest iOS which is 12.5.6 but every time I go to the AppStore I’m not allowed to download Facebook and other essential apps ... this is boring and annoying for my comfort.

They keep telling me to update to iOS 13.4 while the latest iOS version for my iPhone 6 Plus is 12.5.6.

Since two months ago there hasn’t been a new iOS update for iPhone 6 Plus...

Are they trying to remove older versions from the market or what, I don’t get it.

someone please help me, else I will just get rid of this phone and move back to Android 🤦🏽‍♂️.
