device states there is no new updates. How do I update when it is on 12 and I know there is an update?

The device is not up to date on iOS. What do I need to do to update it. I am trying to add a watch to my phone and it will not let me cause the phone is not updated.


iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

But I believe your problem is that an iPhone 6+ cannot update beyond iOS 12.X and an Apple Watch with watchOS 6 installed needs at least iOS 13.
