The App Store turns 10

But that's not the case (at least not on iOS). Even if CoolApp has been removed from sale, you can download it on your new phone from your purchase history. The only exceptions to this are technical limitations on the old app that render it incompatible with the new phone such as 32 vs 64 bit, deprecated APIs, etc.

Even better if CoolApp 1.0 has been continuously updated for new OS’s and the newest version isn’t compatible with a device stuck on an older OS, you can download the “last compatible version”. I was able to download and use Netflix, Crackle, Plex, Hulu, Spotify and Google Drive on my 2010 first gen iPad that was officially abandoned in 2012.

I reset it and downloaded older versions of apps last year.

I have never owned an iPhone, thus I didn't know if that was possible. I suppose there's nothing to worry about.
