Is there any way to do a firmware upgrade without an iPhone?
Nope
You can update the firmware with a Mac or iPad.
You can also get them updated at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Store.
All I could find is to use an iPad or visit an Apple Store. Best Buy’s that do the certified repairs might work too.
The Apple support article linked in the article says you can use a Mac.
That’s interesting, I’ll check that out, thank you!
I believe an Apple Store / Authorized Repair Shop can also do it. Pain in the ass, but it is another option.
I managed to update using my MacBook
MacBook worked, thank you!
