iPhone 5S is the one I use. Coincidentally, today the Brightness of the screen has gotten dimmer. Does anyone have experience with this? Perhaps it's a sign to upgrade?

The iPhone 5s model is getting long in the tooth. It’s a seven year old model now. The LED backlight for the screen is likely getting worn out and dimming with age. They do have a limited lifespan, you know. The life is reduced by hours on and by each on/off cycle the undergo.

I highly recommend upgrading to the iPhone SE (2020) model. And make sure to get a Lightning to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter if you want to keep your old headphones.
