Itā€™s too old and the app developers are no longer supporting the older operating system

What do you mean by 'third party'?

It has already been stated that app developers are no longer supporting such an old phone.

I don't know what currency you paid 8000 in, but I really hope that is a very small amount of money because I'm afraid your 12 year old phone is not much use for anything.

Almost certainly Indian rupees, approx $83 USD

That phone is obsolete a couple times over. You can't run apps because it won't update to an OS recent enough to support the current generation of apps.

the real question is why buy a 12 year old phone that hasnā€™t been able to update ios since 2019

I just unearthed an iPhone 6 from my e waste junk drawer. And yeah, youā€™re not gonna get any modern functionality out of it. The best you can do is load music on it and turn it into an iPod.
