Your stats say you have an iPhone 6 running iOS 12, I don't think you have a 6S.


An iPhone 6/6plus can't be updated beyond 12.5.6, it doesn't have the hardware needed to run anything higher.

If you need a higher iOS version, you will have to purchase a newer phone.


If you do have a 6S,


• If you have an iPhone 5S or 6/6plus, the highest you can update to is 12.5.6

• If you have an iPhone 6S through 7, you can update to 15.7

• If you have an iPhone 8 or higher, you can update to 16AC.0.3


Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
