Hi everyone!

First, I have to apologize if this isn't the right place to ask on the forum... I haven't been here for ages, but now I've got a thing that's bugging me, and Google didn't really help.

So I have an iPhone 4S and I'm considering upgrading to a 5S... But the thing is I'm not sure what iOS 10 features won't available on the 5S? For example, on my 4S, I don't have access to recent contacts, AirDrop, or some other features that are left out for performance reasons, etc. So I was wondering what iOS 10 features will be limited on the iPhone 5S, apart from 3D touch, of course? If anyone knows, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks :)

PS Please don't mind my avatar, it's just for the lols :)

You won't have raise to wake, 3D Touch, Apple Pay, and probably other features that I'm not thinking of. If you're getting a new phone anyway why not go ahead and at least get the 6? Heck, I just went from the 6+ to the 6S+ and I see a huge difference! This was my first time upgrading on the S cycle but I couldn't resist.

More than likely essentially the same set of features that would apply to iPhone 6: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-10-novelties-not-working-on-iphone-6.1983171/
