If you don't get iOS 14.8 (current), but are told iOS 12 or some earlier version is up to date, your iPhone is too old and with hardware insufficient for current iOS versions. Your choices there are a newer (used, refurb) or new iPhone. (There are no hardware upgrades.)


This is a forum. It takes us a little time to find your question, and to compose an answer. Some of us can type faster than others, too.
