If you have a device that has iOS 12.5.6 installed, then you have an iPhone 6 or an older model iPhone. If this is the case then you cannot update your iPhone any further. You will need a newer model iPhone to update to iOS 14/15/16.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 - You can update to iOS 15.7

iPhone 8 and newer models - You can update to iOS 16
