Updating an iPhone SE without iTunes?

Hi!

I'm sitting with my grandma's iPhone SE that needs updating, but the problem is that it requires iTunes to install the update on the phone, and my MacBook is too new to even download iTunes. Does anyone know of another way to update the iPhone without iTunes?


Thanks a lot 🖤

iPhone SE (2nd generation)
