Technically, you need a hardware update for iOS 15, if you’re on an iPhone 6 or earlier.


Not software.


iPhone 6 is supported on iOS 12 and no later. That’s iOS 12.5.7, currently.


You’ll need a newer or new iPhone, and any recent iPhone will be substantially more capable than an iPhone 6.

Updating an iPhone 6 Past iOS 12:

A. You can't.  The iPhone 6 will only install to iOS 12. See here: Update your iPhone or iPad Software if you're Experiencing Issues with Location, Date, and Time - Apple Support. And, for the note, even if you could update, only the latest version will install: iOS 16.


So, what to Try:

B. Update Using a Computer:

Have a Computer Handy? If so, try using a computer to update. Go here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. If any updates are availabe, they will install, sure enough.
