If you’re still using your 2012-era iPhone, it’s going to turn into even more of a paperweight than it might already feel like come Sunday, November 3. Unless you download and install a critical update from Apple, you’ll lose access to your iPhone’s core functionality and you won’t be able to update your iPhone the easy way anymore.
No matter how you update your iPhone, don’t put off installing iOS 10.3.4. If you procrastinate, you’ll lose the ability to perform an over-the-air update—nor will you be able to back up your device to iCloud—and you’ll have to connect your iPhone to a Mac in order to make it functional again.

#^Your iPhone 5 Will Become a Paperweight If You Don’t Update iOS Now
