Hello ~ Your iPhone 6 can’t be updated any further than iOS 12.5.7. You need a newer model iPhone.

Nope i am afraid not. For iOS 16 you'll need an iPhone 8 or higher

For iOS 17 you'll need an iPhone XR or higher

This is all due to hardware limitations, the iphone 6 is too old hardware wise to run anything higher then iOS 12.5.7
