The last security updates iOS 12.5.6 -> available for iPhone 6 Plus.

Check iPhone model & iOS version -> Go to: Settings -> General -> About.

Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Download and Install.


You need about 4 GB device storage and good Service & Wi-Fi.

If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.

Charge the battery > 70%.
