Correct, if you have an outdated iPhone that cannot be updated to iOS 13 or later, many apps will not be able to download. Outdated iPhone no longer meets the requirements for many apps.

  

Most apps require iOS 13.4 or later.                                

Considering a newer type of iPhone?

You do realize you're dealing with an iPhone released in 2009, which is 15 years ago. The fact you can get anything to work on a 15 year old iPhone is remarkable to say the least. But so many apps won't run on a 15 year old iPhone and 3G cellular services have been turned off in a large part of the world. Pretty soon the phone will be completely unusable for anything.
