I'm far behind on iPhone updates. What do I do?

So I haven't updated my phone in a while. I haven't updated it to the most recent one or the one with a lot of changes. I kept meaning to buy was trying to find a time to get used to it. Will my phone mess up if I'm far behind? Or will it be fine?

Just go to check for updates

  • Why is iPhone 5s behind in specs compared to other phones? I've never had an iPhone and was thinking about getting one but i compared specs to other phones like s4/One and iphone is behind all these top of the line mobile devices. Why do people keep buying these phones? What makes them so special?
  • What will happen if the black part behind my iPhone screen is scratched when the iPhone is apart? So I was going to replace my iPhone screen but we realized that we ordered the wrong thing so while my phone was apart I was putting the 6 acres back together that's on the left and right side of the screen and the black part got scratched and when I turn the phone on there's a bunch of colorfully lines and I can't use the phone. Is that scratch the reason the lines are on it like that?
  • What do I do if I'm really behind on Apple iPhone updates? So I got the 6s almost two years and only updated it once since then. When the really big update came out I forgot to update it so I'm very behind on the updates. I'm worried that my phone will crash if I update it now but I don't want to buy the iPhone 7. Has anyone updated their iPhone after a long time with no updates?
  • What are the circles behind the iPhone 5? I know one is the camera. One is the flash. But what is that circle in between them? Is it important?
