Update restore without being able to connect iPhone to computer?

I was just trying to update my iPhone XR and the restore screen came up with the link I needed to restore it, it said to 'Connect your device to your computer using the cable that came with your device. Don't disconnect your device from your computer.', but my MacBook does not have a USB connection and I have zero access to buying a converter for it without waiting quite a few days. Is there any way to fix this?


iPhone XR, iOS 14
