Finding the lowest iOS version to develop an app for

Am a good 6 months away from developing a publishable game for the iPhone. But I would like to know if there is some sort of stat site where I could find out the safest, yet lowest iOS, to make it for?

i.e. If there are still a million 4s' out there then 10.0 would be too high.

Surely I can't be the first to ask this question.

Apple provides a little bit of data on the App Store developer page: https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/

Personally for a new app releasing in 6+ months I’d probably go iOS 14. You could say iOS 13 but all those devices can upgrade to 14, so adoption will probably be very high.

You could argue that people who aren’t willing to update their devices after all those years aren’t as likely to spend money on new apps anyway.
