Seems to me you need up update your iOS. So, what happens when you try? Or is it not successfully updating?


How to Update your iPhone Not Via WiFI:


A. Cellular:

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


B. Ethernet on a Computer:

You can update on a computer though use Ethernet. You might want to be a bit careful about using Cellular, as lots of data would be consumed --so be cautious of that, if you don't have unlimited data.  Learn More here: Back up iPhone - Apple Support


Back Up First:

IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update.
