I bought an apparently water damaged iPhone 6 - but found the water indicators were still white?
If your iPhone is running a newer version of iOS than the macOS version you're running currently supports, you will not be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes if you get the 'software update is required to connect to your iPhone' alert. You will, however, still be able to charge your iPhone and use other tools such as Image Capture, Photos, etc. I have an iPhone 6 that I am trying to restore through iTunes in DFU mode but it is not working. When i click restore, it says 'Software for this iPhone is not currently available, Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again'. So i do have the latest version of iTunes, i made sure of it.
Anyway, I plugged it in and it all recongised the device, except it said it's in recovery mode. I tried to restore it and it says:
'Software for this iPhone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again'
I have the latest version of iTunes. I've tried a new screen and battery - any ideas what else I can try to fix it?
Thank you :)
Is this a good question?

Did you try to put the device in DFU mode over the first recovery mode ? Maybe try to restore the software on another computer like a Macbook on OS X El Capitan to be sure to have the latest iTunes version available!
software for this iphone is not currently available restore iphone
Download 12.5.1. You will have to google the download. Apple is a POS and every download they offer on the site is only 12.1. I downloaded 12.5.1 from a 3rd party and it worked
A big thanks to you 'The IT Nutshell' Downloaded 12.5.1 & it worked for me on windows 64 bit platform
