Why must I update to iOS 16.1 before I could be able to download an app from AppStore. I’m using iPhone 6 Plus, somebody should help me

i was instructed to update my app as results of being unable to download app from AppStore . As I checked my iPhone 6 Plus is up to date. What other update are they talking about?

iOS 12.5.7 is the latest iOS security update for iPhone 6 Plus.

👉 iPhone 6 Plus can’t be update to a higher iOS (13 and later). 


If you have an outdated iPhone that cannot be updated to iOS 13 or later, many apps will not be able to download.

Outdated iPhone no longer meets the requirements for many apps.

  

Most apps require iOS 13.4 or later.                                

Considering a newer type of iPhone?
