If you have an iPhone 12 or newer and access to 5G, you can update your iPhone with Mobile Data.


To be able to download iOS updates via 5G, go to:

Settings Cellular Cellular Data OptionsData Mode → select Allow More Data on 5G


You can download and install software updates here:

Settings General Software Update


If you have an older iPhone or you don't have 5G in your data plan, you need to connect your iPhone to Wi-Fi to download iOS updates. Alternatively, you must update from a computer. See link at the bottom of this answer.
