This device has expired. Now what?
No more security updates will ever arrive for the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.
The Apple iPhone 6 Plus in detail
How many years of updates does the Apple iPhone 6 Plus get?
Released in September 2014, the Apple iPhone 6 Plus received security patches until January 2023: 8 years and 4 months in total.
Among the 21 Apple phones in our database, 13 were supported for less time and 6 for longer. The median is 7 years and 7 months.
Across all brands, the median for phones is 4 years.
The last patch came out 3 years and 9 months ago.
Can I keep using the Apple iPhone 6 Plus?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after January 2023 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
