I have more than 3 years old channel in Phoenix. Big enough to not close it so far. The fee was much cheaper than now, and I have got like +100% channel capacity of my deposit if I good remember. So being early adopter was worth it ;)
he sats will fit into that already open channel and will not be opening a new one
btw, in: Settings -> Payment options and fees there is: Automatic on-the-fly channel creation - and I keep this option switched-off for better control (for not being surprised)
Oh yeah, I forgot about that option. Good that you mention it.

Unfortunately the option to disable automatic channel creation does not seem to be available in the ios version 🤷‍♂️

Confirmed, it's not there.
