Update without wifi

You can update with Mobile data, IF:

1. You have an iPhone 12 or an iPhone 13 with 5G Service AND
2. You are running iOS 15

You have an iPhone XS Max and therefore will need to either update over a Wi-Fi Network Or ➔ Update by using a computer that is connected to the internet.

That Depends on your Model:

See Here: Use an iPhone 12 or later, that is using 5G, in order to update over Cellular - User Tip

Have Ethernet?:

To Check for Updates:

Use a Computer and Ethernet:

Start with attempting an update through use of a computer. If you cannot use Wi-Fi, then use Ethernet.  Go Here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. On the computer, you would connect it through Ethernet, going directly into your router. For a Mac (or PC) that does not have Ethernet, this would be the adapter to use: Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple. If you get the same error, the model is likely just not compatible.

Not possible with what you have.

Try and use a public Wi-Fi System if available OR borrow a computer from a friend or a family member.
