What's Next for the iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus

iOS 12.5.6 might be the last iOS update for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Apple won't upgrade either device to iOS 13, iOS 14, iOS 15, or iOS 16. 

We could see Apple release iOS iOS 12.6/12.5.7 down the road, but that's far from guaranteed. 

For more on the iOS 13 features these devices will miss out on, take a look at our iOS 13 walkthrough. It'll take you through the biggest changes on board. 

Likewise, you'll want to take a look at our iOS 14 walkthrough. It goes over the best changes on board Apple's previous operating system. You'll also want to check out our iOS 15 walkthrough.

If you like what you see from iOS 16, iOS 15, iOS 14 and/or iOS 13, you might want to start thinking about upgrading to a newer iPhone

    After updating iPhone 6s and iPad to 12.1.4 I cannot access marketplace on either. Restarted them, downloaded the app again with no joy. Friend has iPhone 6 did the update and has no problems. I’m at a loss.

    You can jailbreak iOS 11.0 → 11.4.1 and iOS 12.0 → 12.1.2 (Currently A12 devices like iPhone XR, XS and XS Max are not yet supported, please wait for an update. )

    After updating my iPhone 6 to iOS 12.3.1, both caller name (from Contacts) and Recents don’t display.

    I’ve had problems with GPS accurately displaying my location since the update to 12.3.1. My compass is off at times too. It’s not always wrong, but most often both malfunction. It’s a major problem if you use Google or Apple Maps often! I’ve reset network settings and all settings. Last to do is erase and reset?

    Since updating to 12.3.1, my iPhone 6 stopped being able to find a network completely, it just keeps saying “searching”. The “LTE” fixes seem to have broken it.

    Apple does this intentionally. They want to force you to buy newer devices. Which is why so many ditched apple and jumped to the competition. After using Apple products for so long. I’m about to do the same. Sick of the greed. If they have nothing left maybe then they will look back and say yea. I guess we shouldn’t have done that. Ya think?

    This ios firmware screwed up 2 of my iphone 6+.

    After upgrade, the both phones were restarting randomly. After doing a restore/recovery procedure, both phones cannot boot up anymore.

    “After updating to 12.3.1 my iPhone 6 will not connect to the internet unless connected to a WiFi network. Not happy…” Me too.

    After updating to 12.4.2, wifi drops connectivity always. I know this is the culprit as I did not update my iphone 5 and it has a stronger connectivity. Now my older phone is better.
