I need a temporary iPhone on which I can install WhatsApp in order to keep my conversations, since I will be handing in my current work phone, which is an iPhone, on which I have a lot of WhatsApp conversations. I believe that WhatsApp requires iOS 10 or later to be installed. Which is the cheapest iPhone (presumable the oldest model?) that can run the required iOS version?

But you could download Mactracker and see which iPhone will run OS 10…– Solar MikeMar 6 at 6:40

I’d be worried about the potential for backwards (in)compatibility. A 6S is the oldest phone that can run the current iOS– TetsujinMar 6 at 8:23

WhatsApp currently supports iOS 10 or newer; and iPhone 5 is the oldest model that runs iOS 10 (Last version it supports is iOS 10.3.4). This should be the cheapest compatible model, if you can find it.
