My issue with this film, isn't so much with the film on its own, it's its impact on the franchise as a whole. It took the universe (and characters) that we had seen in the first three movies, Origins and The Wolverine, and turned it into a dystopia, killing everyone off. Everyone that we see in those movies have been brutally murdered by the Sentinels (really hits you hard, when you've just spent a few days, rewatching the previous movies. The now killed off characters are fresh in your memory). So, that is the conclusion of the X-Men franchise, up to this point, with this movie rebooting it, with a new timeline/universe. The only one, who gets to survive, and live in the happier reality, is Logan. Everyone else is dead. The Storm, Cyclops and Jean, that we encounter, at the end, are older versions of the ones that get introduced in Apocalypse, not the ones from the first three movies (who are all dead). So, this movie also concludes the movies of the new timeline (with this being set after the events of Dark Phoenix, meaning that Jean Grey returned to Earth, somewhere between 1992 and 2023).
It also concludes the story of this version of Wolverine, as it's the last time that we see him. The one who shows up in Apocalypse, is the one who is native to this reality (who'll get replaced by the Earth-10005 Logan in 2023). And, according to the Marvel Database wiki, Logan takes places in a third, separate reality.
As for the chronology of the various continuities (not including Deadpool), I'd say that it's probably something like this:
Earth-10005: First Class, Origins, X-Men, X2, The Last Stand, The Wolverine, Days of Future Past (original 2023 scenes).
Unnamed reality: First Class, Days of Future Past (1973 scenes), Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, Days of Future Past (new 2023 scenes). Origins and The Wolverine scenes, set before 1973, are also part of this continuity.

Earth-17315: Logan.
In theory, there are enough evidence to suggest that First Class and the apocalyptic future seen in Days of Future Past takes place in a different universe than Origins, X-Men, X2, The Last Stand, The Wolverine. Naturally, a universe where some of the same events happened (ex. the death of Jean Grey), but not the actual Earth-10005 universe. Instead, they phased the original out, for this new universe (only failing to inform us, like they did with Logan taking place in its own separate universe), starting with First Class. All of the Earth-10005 characters that we saw in Origins, X-Men, X2, The Last Stand, The Wolverine are still alive and well (not counting the ones who actually died in those movies, of course).Comment
