Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, click here, and then on the download link for a newer OS. That model's maximum is Catalina.

Catalina and higher won't run 32-bit software; download and use Go64 as well as using the first link above.

For reference, Macs run macOS, not iOS.

if that's the correct model-year, you can run up to 10.15 Catalina.

BUT Catalina obsoletes all older 32-bit Apps. you may want to pause short of that.
