itunes won't find update for my phone 6

I want to update my iphone 6 to ios 12 (or at least 10 so I could still use apps). When I try to do so I get notified that I can only update my phone using iTunes. And when I connect my phone to iTunes I click "Check for update" and it says that " This version of the iPhone software (9.2) is the current version" . What does it even mean? Please can you help me to update somehow to even ios 10 because I cant't use more than half of the apps because of the old software. Thank you.

iPhone 6, iOS 9

Make sure you're running the current version of iTunes.

Well then my iPhone 6 should work just fine with at least iOS 10. Is there a way to update only to iOS 10?

Okay, according to article 12.5.1 should work too. Then maybe you know how to do it when iTunes can't find any update and I can't update wirelessly on my phone either?

There is no more updates past 12.5.1.

You can only update on a Wi-Fi network.
