As Ios users know, apple will be dropping support for 32 bit apps once ios 11 is released. I'm sure that several people, myself included, have a few 32 bit apps on their ios device of choice. Losing the apps will effect if you decide to upgrade to the latest software, depending on the importance of the app, and if you can find an alterntive app that not only does pretty much the same thing as the app that was dropped by apple, but also works with voiceover. I did some research and found an article that explains how you can determine what apps will no longer work on the newest version of ios when it is released. To find out what apps will be dropped, do the following. Double-tap on settings, double-tap on about, and double-tap on applications. Undre there, you will find a list of 32 bit apps that will no longer be supported by apple in a few months. I just thought I'd pass this along just in case people were wondering if they have any apps that will be dropped by apple in the near future.
I am running the dev preview of IOS 11 so I';ll report back is any blindness apps are not working.

If my device wasn't on the upgrade list, and I wanted to keep it running, I'd not upgrade it.
You'll have more problems then just your apps.
Wow, only one App I actually care anything about, and only about six in total. I'm surprised.
I have some issues but I've figured out how to deal with mail threading and some app crashing. Keep in mind my I Phone is not my daily driver.

Well, developers usually get around to updating apps. It is too soon to really know who's going to or not.
In the latest OS, you can actually test your apps, but that is after the fact, not before. You can remove the ones that aren't working, but again, that is after the fact.
If I wasn't going to update the phone, I'd not update the OS. You'll have some security risk and such, but, fine, if you like what you've got, you'll deal. Just don't keep anything emportant on the phone.
