Updating your iPhone 6 Plus to iOS 14: A Quest for the Digital Holy Grail (That Doesn't Actually Exist)
Let's face it, your iPhone 6 Plus is practically a museum artifact at this point. But hey, it's been a trusty companion, capturing those grainy concert pics from 2014 and holding all those Angry Birds high scores. So, when you hear whispers of the magical iOS 14 update, it's natural to get that upgrade itch. But hold on to your pokéballs, trainers, because this journey might be a little more Indiana Jones and the Dial of Denial than you anticipated.
First things first: Can your iPhone 6 Plus even run iOS 14?
Here's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (well, almost): iPhone 6 Plus cannot be updated to iOS 14. Sorry to break it to you, but even Steve Jobs himself couldn't pull off that kind of digital sorcery. The latest your trusty 6 Plus can handle is iOS 12.5.7.
But wait! There's more! (Maybe)
If you're feeling bummed about missing out on iOS 14's fancy widgets and shimmering app bubbles, don't despair! There are a few workarounds...well, kind of.
-
Embrace the Retro Charm: Hey, vintage is in! Think of your iPhone 6 Plus as a classic car – timeless and full of character. Besides, who needs fancy widgets when you have Snake?
-
Get Crafty with Shortcuts: You can use the Shortcuts app to kinda-sorta recreate some of the iOS 14 features. It's like a DIY project for your phone, just avoid using glitter – it's a nightmare to clean.
-
Consider an Upgrade Party: Maybe it's time for a new phone fling? Look, all good things must come to an end (except for Snake, that game goes on forever). There are some pretty sweet deals on newer iPhones that can actually run iOS 14.
So there you have it, folks. Upgrading your iPhone 6 Plus to iOS 14 might be a fantasy, but that doesn't mean your phone can't still be awesome. Just embrace the nostalgia, unleash your inner shortcut whiz, or maybe it's time to start shopping for a new phone. After all, who wouldn't want to experience the joy of gasp widgets?
