update phone using macbook

I cannot physically connect my iphone 6 with my new MacBook as far as I can tell, yet I want to use the laptop to update the software on my phone. (There is not enough buffer to update the phone directly without deleting lots of photos. ) Any suggestions short of getting a newer phone?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

I'm guessing you're looking for a USB-C to lightning cable.
