I own an iPhone 6 and am looking into buying new headphones with bluetooth 5.3, but I have heard the iPhone 6 is compatible with bluetooth 4.0 and less, but I can't find anything online about if the iPhone 6 would work with a bluetooth 5.3, and I don't have a device that uses 5.3 anywhere lying around that I can text it with so I came here for answers.
Yes, it will work.
All higher-level Bluetooth devices have backward compatibility but the reverse is not true.
The iPhone 6 does not support Bluetooth 5.3 that is a known fact. The iPhone 6 model is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 technology. While Bluetooth 4.0 is capable of pairing with various Bluetooth devices, it has a lower data transfer rate and may not offer all the features and capabilities of Bluetooth 5.3.
When considering new headphones with Bluetooth 5.3, it's important to check their compatibility with Bluetooth 4.0 devices. Many Bluetooth headphones are backward compatible, meaning they can connect to older Bluetooth versions, including Bluetooth 4.0. However, certain advanced features of Bluetooth 5.3 may not be available or fully functional when connected to a Bluetooth 4.0 device.
Before purchasing new headphones, it's advisable to review the specifications and compatibility information provided by the manufacturer. Look for Bluetooth compatibility with devices running Bluetooth 4.0 or higher to ensure a successful pairing and optimal functionality with your iPhone 6.

I'm pretty sure that the a2dp bluetooth profile is still compatible List of Bluetooth profiles - Wikipedia
it has been used for normal stereo AV stuff in many years, so while 5.3 may have some newer fancy features that the iphone11 would not be able to take advantage of then I would expect it to work for the basics
Will bluetooth 5.3 ear pods work on an iPhone 12 pro?
