What iOS is on the iPhone 6s? If you have the newer iOS, anything higher than 12.4.9, you will not be able to transfer the data to an iPhone 6. The iPhone 6 cannot run an iOS higher than 12.4.9, but the iPhone 6s can run up to 14.2. So, if you backup the 6s with 14.2, you cannot restore that to the iPhone 6 with 12.4.9.

Do you have a support question?


This is not a chat service. This is a user to user technical support forum and Apple does not participate here. You need to type out a question describing your problem and any troubleshooting steps you have taken to fix it, and wait for one of the volunteer users to read it and one to answer it.


Read this, Writing an effective Apple Support question.


Then come back with a message that meets that criteria.
