I want to give my iPhone 6+ to my sister, what is the latest update it will support? She does not do streaming or lots of downloads. Mostly Facebook and checks her email and some banking.

iOS 12.5.7 is as far as the iPhone 6 Plus can go. Unless you have not updated the phone in a long time, it is probably already at iOS 12.5.7

The Facebook app is no longer available for iOS 12, and most banking apps also require a later version of iOS than that device supports.

From the sound of it, it is probably not going to suit her needs well.
