my friend is considering giving me her old iPhone 6 so that I can use it as a secondary device. My old iPhone 5C is essentially a brick now because there are a lot of new apps that won't work on it because the latest iOS version it can run is iOS 10. what is the latest available iOS version for the iPhone 6?

It's 12.3.1 i think.

as long as it can run 12 or better I'm good with it. i'm considering using the iPhone 6 to experiment with jailbreaking etc. Does anybody know if there's a jailbreak for iOS 12?

That is the latest. As for jail break, I guess so. It must be there.

Interestingly, Apple is still updating iOS 12 with security patches. The iPhone 5s and 6 should be good to go for a little longer. I wonder if Apple is going to start supporting one or two prior versions of iOS at a time like they currently do with macOS? This is very interesting.
