Hello ~ Your iPhone is on the highest version of iOS supported by your current device. If you require or want to run a higher version of iOS you need a newer device. You can go to the black line at the top of this page and click on iPhone to see the newest options.

The highest version of iOS you can run on an iPhone 6 is iOS 12.5.5. If you are looking for anything higher, iPhone 6 release almost 8 years ago is lacking the hardware required to run the newer iOS versions. If you need the newer iOS versions, then you'll need to purchase a newer, more modern iPhone at this point.
