Bill, as relatively new iphone users, we chose the se phones, we like it for
it's size, it's very smooth operating experience when using the phone and it
will have your standard audio jack. We can definitely recomend the se. We
believe this would be a great choice. However, if you wanted to step out a
little our other recomendation at this time would be the 7 plus. With the 7
plus I believe you get an adaptor so you would have your audio physically
connected to your phone. I've heard the bluetooth has gotten better when it
comes to audio. Anyway the 7 plus is a nice phone, just a little more money.
Good luck, Bill with all this information that you received from richard, mark,
us and anyone else that's answered these questions for you since I'm a bit
behind on messages, of which it will be interesting to read.

Subject: Re: Upgrade process from iPhone 5S
Bill, Mark covered most points very well.
I would point out that the iPhone SE is the same size as the 5s and is
slightly newer than the 6s, if that makes any difference for you.

Hello Bill,
You ask questions that some may be reluctant to answer for the simple fact
that each person's circumstances are unique.
Be that as it may, I will offer some suggestions in order to assist you.
Please keep in mind that this is only my opinion.
As for determining how to tell which apps will not function in iOS 11, I
will place the steps and a link to the article below my signature.
1.
To manually backup your device to iCloud, from the Settings menu, select
your name.
2.
Select iCloud.
3.
Select and explore the Backup area.
Now, as for your other questions:
1.
Since money is of great concern to you, and since I'm almost certain you do
not want to have to deal with the issue of swapping out any of your audio
connectors to the Lightening form-factor, I strongly suggest that you purchase
an iPhone 6 S, model. The 6 S model continues to offer the 3.5mm jack,
insuring that any analog audio equipment you have will work as usual. Also,
the price of the 6 S is significantly less than the 7, 8, and 10 series
devices.
As far as I know, the only place from which you can purchase a new 6 S
series phone is from Apple, be it online or at an Apple store.
2.
You ask:
"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.?
Answer:
All things being equal, you will probably need to re-pair your Bluetooth
devices. Will you need to replace them? I should think not.
As for your charger, the answer is, No, you will not have to replace it as
all Apple phones, currently being sold, as new, use the Lightening port
charging system.
Bill, I realize that upgrading to a new phone can be very scary and I don't
blame you for hesitating to do so. However, in all things, change is
unavoidable so it's best to do it on your own terms, whenever possible.
I won't kid you, it is quite possible that some of your favorite apps have
not been updated to 64-bit and, thus, will not work in iOS 11. Regardless,
given that your 5 S is falling apart, I’m certain that you will gain more than
you lose by upgrading to a new device with a modern operating system.
Okay, that's about it.
Good luck, Bill, and try to have faith in yourself. You can do this.
Sincerely,
Mark
which apps won't work on iOS 11
How can I find 32-bit apps on my device?
Discovering any old apps that haven't been updated is very simple.
On your iPhone or iPad go to Settings > General > About, and then look for
Applications in the list.
which apps won't work on iOS 11
If you don't have any applications that are 32-bit then tapping
Applications will do nothing. But if you see an arrow on the right side of that
section then tap on it and you'll be presented with a list of all the 32-bit
apps on your device.

Subject: Upgrade process from iPhone 5S
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.
