If your iPhone 6 is already on iOS 12.5.7, then you have the latest update, and probably the last version for this model.

If your iPhone is on an earlier version iOS, then see: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.

This model iPhone is not compatible with later versions iOS (13.0 or later). That may mean that some software with higher minimum system requirements can’t be installed on this device.

You cannot pick and choose an iOS version. What you get is Settings > General > Software update > [All options are available here]
