An iPhone 6/6 plus can't be updated beyond 12.5.7, 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.


To update to 12.5.7 -


Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

If your iPhone is an iPhone 8 Plus, running iOS 14 – as your signature line indicates – then you can upgrade to a later version of iOS. I suspect that you won't be offered a choice of upgrading to iOS 15, only one of upgrading to the latest compatible version of iOS (i.e., the latest point release of iOS 16).
