You cannot update an iPhone 12 to iOS 13. The iPhone 12 originally shipped with iOS 14.1 – and so iOS 13 would be a downgrade. iPhones don't support downgrades.


If you are looking at an app that requires iOS 13, its description probably says that it requires iOS 13 or later.


Whatever version of iOS is on that iPhone 12 now is "or later."
