IPhone 5, 6 or 6s?

I'm looking to get a new phone, not bothered about having the latest version but definitely want an iPhone. My main concern with getting a 5 is if it will stop supporting new operating systems soon and whether a later version would last longer in this respect? Not massively knowledgeable about the differences between various models and would love some advice.

The 5 and 6 are both now no longer sold as far as I'm aware so personally I'd go for the 6S as it's still for sale and thus will still be supported for longer. I have a 6 S bought on release day it's still going strong. I find it runs at a decent speed, is reliable and does everything I need it to do.

I imagine they’ll drop the 5s from iOS compatibility pretty soon, the 5 is already gone.

My 6s is now 3.5 years old and going brilliantly (with a new battery).

I upgraded my 5 to 6s.

No problems with it

Great, thanks all, that is really useful to know.
