An iPhone 6 or other not-5G?


With a Jetpack or MiFi device from your carrier, sure.


And that needs a fair amount of often-pricy cellular data.


Otherwise, find a Wi-Fi network, or find a computer.


An iPhone 6 hasn’t had an iOS updated in a while either, with iOS 12.5.7 having been available for over a year.
