Hello, again list.
I am concerned about the process of upgrading my 5S to a better model. It is falling apart, as I have lost the physical mute switch and the touch screen is sitting on the phone and I have to be careful not to lose it. The case has been gradually losing pieces. I have had it for four years, so it is really overdue for a replacement. First, I am having trouble with the iOS 11 installation cycle. It seems to be failing due to lack of capacity, but I'm not sure if this is really the issue. I am concerned about updating apps to accommodate this new version, and I vaguely recall hearing there is a way to tell which apps might have trouble working when I go from iOS 10 to 11. I worry about the transfer of my apps and data to a new phone, fearing I may lose somethingin the process. I know I can back up the phone to iCloud, but am not sure if this is happening automaticallyofr if there is some step I need to take to do this just before the switch. When I get the new phone, will I need to reconnect my bluetooth devices, my keyboard, a tile I have on my key ring, and my headphones? Will I need to replace these. I also have a stand for my K-NFB reader I might need to replace, though admittedly I haven't used it much. I am wondering what type of new iPhone I can or should get. I bought the 5S through my local A. T. & T. store back in 2014. It is fully paid off long since through my cell phone bill with them. I know I could have taken a free upgrad from them at some point, but was unsure of what model I would have gotten, and I was afraid of going through the transfer process then. Now I have to update with the phone falling apart, and don't know what I can get and still have the same transfer fears. If I can't get it free, I have fears about the cost of the new phone, or how much I can afford to allow the bill to increase to pay for it that way. I am in a jam with my available credit. One other technical issue is the compatibility of my charger. Will I have to replace it? One more issue is getting a protective case for the new iPhone. The cost cost concerns me as this may have to be a separate purchase at another time. I would again appreciate someone helping work through this process.
