Iphone 6s and not being able to sync to itunes

I just recently got the Iphone 6s and I am unable to connect this phone to my Itunes. It is due to my OS X version being too old (10.6.8). I can't seem to update it to a newer version. I need the newest version of itunes and in order to update that I need to update my OS X to a newer one. How can I do so? Or is there away around this so I can sync my phone with Itunes!

I have an older Macbook (probably around 2007) if that info is needed.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.5

When I upgraded to Lion, half of my applications stopped working. So, decision, pay thousands of dollars to upgrade my apps to new (and sometimes inferior usability) upgrades, or go back to 10.6.8. I did the latter. The older iTunes was better designed, iMovie was MUCH better, and it all just worked. I no longer upgrade (for as long as I can). Unfortunately, my iPod Touch will no longer sync, either. I decided to use my Windows machine to add items to my iPod (pathetic, huh?). When I had an SSD added to my iMac, I had the Mac Tech make a partition for El Capitan. So, for 95% of my tasks I use Snow Leopard. But, when I need an app that can only work in 10.7+, I reboot in El Capitan.

when you stick with an old unsupported version of the operating system you will not get security fixes and fixes for bugs which can cause problems.
