There is no way to predict which apps will or will not continue to run with your current iPhone. At some point all developers will stop supporting older apps that run on previous versions of iOS. If there specific apps that you require, I suggest that you contact the developers to see how long they plan on providing support for.

The iPhone 8 is relatively small, compared to all the other newer models and Apple still sells them. You can also potentially find refurbished phones, like the iPhone SE which is exactly the same size as the 5s but with basically the iPhone 6s components.


FWIW, I have an SE because, I too, prefer the smaller size. Apple may revisit this in the near future. At least, that's what I'm hoping for.
