Find some wifi or take it to Apple Store.

Currently top end 5G iPhones will allow use of cellular to update.

The reasons are to protect the providers' data traffic, but you will find as time goes by the opportunity may come your way.

Not yet.

Ask a friend, acquaintance or family to use their computer, or at a public library.

Alternately, visit your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider and they should be able to help you out.

You will first have to make an appointment due to the pandemic.
