No. If you want to backup to your MacBook Air, you'll need to get the right cable for the job. If your MacBook Air is a more modern device, for an iPhone 6s, that would mean a lightning to USB C cable. There are loads of them you can buy on Amazon.com. You can visit your Apple Store or a BestBuy store as well.
