iOS 14 (or 13) isn't available for iPhone 5s and can't be installed on it.
There isn't a way to do that. There's no iOS 14 installer for iPhone 5s and Apple doesn't sign that version for iPhone 5s (meaning even if some attempt was made to try to install something the installation wouldn't happen as it wouldn't pass the validation check from Apple which isn't something that can be bypassed).
I have no idea. You can try Amazon maybe. Nevertheless i suggest you not to search for a cheap phone as long as your iPhone 5S works well. ?
If you could, then there are a lot of jailbreak developers that would like to speak with you. Because the same process would also allow downgrading.
Alas, not possible.
You have a greater chance of being abducted by aliens and whisked off to Apple’s secret headquarters, than being able to sneak or cheat with putting iOS 14 on your phone.
A clear upgrade would be the first gen SE that WILL be getting iOS 14. They are pretty cheap too.
For a while, I had iOS 14 loaded on my SE (orig). Amazingly, it ran well. I was surprised. I put iOS 13 back on in case I needed the phone for a work app.
Iphone SE gen 2016 is the same form as your current phone and is still receiving OS updates if I’m not mistaken. Still available new from reputable eBay sellers for just over $100.
Most of those listing are repacked refurbished phones listed as new. And most of the time, the sellers have bad feedback or new to eBay. It looks like a one big scamming ring going on on ebay with the SE (original). The listings that are legit want way too much money for the phone.
