The iPhone 6 was introduced 9 years ago. 9 year old hardware cannot be expected to support the higher demands of new software.


If you want to run iOS 15, you need an iPhone 7.


If you want to run iOS 16, you will need an iPhone 8 or higher.


If you want to run iOS 17, you will need an iPhone XS, XR or 2nd Gen SE, or higher model.
