Glad to see the 5/5C still supported, although I wonder how it will impact speed on the older devices.

I feel like #2 isn't even on the table anymore. When they drop support for the A5 they will drop support for 32 bit chips all together. They can't drop support for the iPhone 5 yet (they were still selling it last year) so I think we have another year or 2 before they drop anything.

The iPhone 5 and 5C use the Apple A6 processor chip.

I understand that. The A6 is also a 32-bit chip. I'm saying, when they won't drop support for the A5 until they drop support for 32-bit (both A5 and A6). And I don't think they are going to do that for another year or 2.

My old 5 is on iOS 9.3.2. It does better than I expected. I don't expect much difference with 10. I have deleted a lot on it. I only use it for utility reasons. It definitely doesn't have the zip of my 6s Plus, but holds up rather well.
