Donna,
Just my own speculation here, since Apple ultimately has the power on
deciding these things. Since the iPhone 5 or newer is supported this
year with iOS 10, my random guess would be that the 5S will be around
until 2018 or thereabouts. As said before though, Appple could jump
from the 5 to the 6 next year in the oldest model supported, one never
knows. I thought that last year would be the final year of the 5S.
However, if the iPhone 7 comes out this fall, then the 6/6 Plus would
be the "free" phone this year.
