Hi everybody! After the latest update, my much cherished X is getting slower and slower each day. I consider getting the battery replaced, but I wonder whether this would make a difference. Has anyone else recently changed the battery of their X's and did it made a difference?

EDIT: thanks a lot for your comments. They were very insightful. Honestly, I hate having to upgrade, as I feel like I'm throwing away tech that's still functioning, apart from an old battery and software that is too demanding for its chip, but I guess that's how things are nowadays.

hello everyone, today I changed the lcd screen of my iphone X and unfortunately the screen remains black even though the iphone feels like it's working because it vibrates. yesterday I bought another lcd screen that arrived cracked, but by assembling it anyway the screen turned on and everything, yet today I tried to reassemble the old one again but nothing doing, not even the cracked one from yesterday turns on. Can anyone give me a hand or some advice on what to do? thanks a lot to everyone in advance

my girlfriend’s iPhone X screen turned green. It was already damaged on the top-left corner and was "working," but now it’s completely unusable. I urgently need to recover the data. My iCloud was full, but I’m willing to pay for more storage. Would it be possible to recover the data using my iPad or MacBook?

Thanks in advance!

Hey I just want to state that I’m not a thief or anything, my grandpa just bought a phone off a shady dude on facebook marketplace and it came locked to the previous owner, I was hoping there’s someone here who can maybe help?

I’ve tried many things to try and fix the issue myself, one is by restarting the phone, but it’s not working, it just won’t connect to anything, and cellular connection is the only thing that works, and if I try to open any apps, my phone has a stroke 😭, how do I fix this?

Hello guys. Me and my mom we forgot the password of her old iPhone. Which way is the best to restart?

This week my phone’s battery started to show incorrectly. For example I’d leave it to charge over night and in the morning I’d see that it’s at 83%, however when I restart it it says that it’s at 100%. My ios is updated to the latest version. I have an iphone X. Please help me and let me know why this is happening 😣 i also changed my battery a few months ago so it’s 100% capacity

Hi there,

So almost a year ago, one of my relatives tried to upgrade from an iPhone 6S to an iPhone X and the data transfer using Apple's way didn't work. This was because the 6S was on an iOS 12 and I think the phone just wasn't compatible for the iPhone -> iPhone data transfer method.

This year I'm upgrading myself from an iPhone X to a 16 Pro Max and I fear I may face a similar issue where the 2 phones are way too generationally apart.

Has anyone upgraded this year or last year from an iPhone X to any of the new iPhones?

Did you face a similar issue?

was a phone i wanted since the ads came out in 2017, had features i plain never seen before, now they are mostly all common place, but is it still good now? a 256gb model is bow a mere 160 usd, seems like a great deal for all the features the phone has

Does anyone recall when they last saw Apple selling refurbished iPhone X's on their site? I know they started selling them in 2019 (the refurb ones) but I can't recall when they last sold them refurbished actively.

If a X was traded in around 2022 with a broken back glass, what do you think would've happened to it? Recycled for materials? Or gutted for parts to be used in refurb models?

Last week I noticed the Apple Store app stopped working on my iPhone X with the latest version of iOS 16. It tells me the app needs to be updated. So I follow the link and it tells me I cannot update the app because it needs iOS17. Reboots did nothing, so I went as far as to delete the app, thinking I could reinstall it (at least an earlier iOS 16 compatible version) but this won’t work either. Apple won’t let me access anything other than the link to the newest version.

What’s the deal here? I thought Apple generally does not block access to its store fronts, even on older devices? For example, I have an ancient 2008 MacBook that can still access the iTunes Store through iTunes and I’ve used it recently to purchase movies.

It seems this is just Apple trying to force more upgrades - but why not have the decency to at least warn people that you will essentially disable an app that has already been working fine on a version of the iOS that has received security updates in this calendar year?

Hello! first of all english is not my first language so i apologize if there’s some grammar mistakes. now, my dad has had an iphone x for almost 6 years or so. Almost two weeks ago, out of the sudden, the phone screen started to flash white. he’s on his sixties, so he thinks chinese ppl are trying to hack his facebook or something like that. he’s very paranoid to be honest, and i just want to solve this problem because switching to a new phone would be extremely stressful for him. if anyone knows what’s going on, thank you so much in advance.

Hey everyone! I’m seriously considering switching from my Infinix Note 30 (128GB model) to an iPhone X, and I could really use some advice. Here’s a bit of background to help explain why I’m leaning toward the iPhone X and why I’d appreciate your thoughts on this move.

Why I’m Thinking About Switching:

1. Camera Quality: One of the main reasons is the camera experience. On Android, especially with apps like Snapchat, I feel like filters look overly artificial, and they often lag or make my face look weirdly edited. I’ve noticed on iPhones, though, filters tend to look more natural, with smoother skin tones and a balanced overall look. For someone who enjoys taking photos and videos, this is a big deal for me.

2. iOS Experience: I’ve used Android for a while and enjoy it, but there’s something about the iOS experience that just clicks for me. I love the smooth transitions, user-friendly interface, and overall look of iOS. The simplicity and consistency of iOS apps would be a big plus.

3. Gaming Performance: I’m also a fan of mobile gaming, particularly PUBG, which I’ve had the chance to play on an iPhone 7 and an iPhone 11. Even on the older iPhone 7, the gameplay was impressive. It was smoother and less laggy than expected, even at 40 FPS. I’d love to have that kind of stability on my own device.

I’m living in Pakistan, where the price of newer models like the iPhone 11 or 12 is quite high. This makes the iPhone X seem like a potentially better choice for my budget. However, I know the iPhone X is an older model now, and I’m curious if it will still hold up well for things like the camera, iOS experience, and gaming performance in 2024.

So, my main questions are:

Is the iPhone X a good upgrade over my Infinix Note 30, especially for someone who values camera quality and smoother in-app camera experience?

How does the performance hold up on iOS 17 or iOS 16 in late 2024? Any noticeable lag or limitations I should be aware of?

Any tips on making the most out of an older iPhone model if I do decide to switch?

I’d really appreciate any insights or experiences, especially from anyone who has switched to the iPhone X from a mid-range Android. Thanks in advance!

Except the battery life (which is at 67%) and a bit of memory shortage, I like everything. But I feel like I will need to upgrade my phone anyway in 1-2 years. What are the significant pros of switching to iPhone 15?

It is safe to charge iPhone X on powerbank 5V = 2A?

The original charger was 5V = 1A.

My phone keeps kicking me off the wifi (iPhone 10) and when I try to switch the wifi back on, it doesn't connect, so I go into the settings to manually reset the wifi, but it won't let me turn it back on. When I press the wifi toggle, it just instantly turns back off. Now I keep resetting my phone but it doesn't seem to do any good because it takes about 6 resets before it lets me turn it back on, then it repeats the same issue after about 15 minutes. The wifi shuts off and whatnot.

Hi, sorry basically I used to be a poor teenager in 2017 when the X came out and I dreamed of owning one on the original firmware ever since, I'd like to get one now but most have been updated and it's very hard to find one on iOS 11. Any idea where I could find one? Dm me if you sell one too

Hello it is worth buying an iPhone x 256gb for 150$ never repaired battery life 96%

Is there any app to hide apps from battery usage i used an app called cape it only hides for a day or two pls help me iOS 16 btw

A while back I was given an iPhone X that was in pretty rough shape.

It had 72% battery health, the top portion of the screen didn't register touch and would make random inputs and the back glass was smashed.

I set about repairing it to use as a second phone. Cheap LCD screen and battery from replacebase and a used housing with small parts.

I've just finished the repair and went through settings expecting to see a wave of unrecognised part messages, but nothing! Obviously true tone has gone from display settings but the battery health is now displayed as 100%.

Is this normal? I didn't solder over the old BMS or reprogram anything.

Do you guys use edge to edge or the naked notch ones? Also, which ones are good? so many options! Let me know! feel free to put links!

Finally, it's time to put my iPhone X to rest. I've been using this since 2017. I only had to change the battery a couple of times. It's still running great, but I have been waiting long enough to upgrade. I really liked the design of 16. It kind of resembles the X, but 16 Pro packs more power, I guess.
I always use a phone for a long time. Keeping it in mind, I liked the 16pro. As it is the pro version, it will run longer years. But the design and comfy, the 16 is good.
I am really confused about which one I should go for. 16pro has the power and slightly less bezel display while 16 is powerful enough and beautiful design like the X.

Yeah so my x camera has started to shake which makes it very difficult to take a picture also the picture quality has also degraded so i was thinking of buy the replacement camera on ifixit but x rare camera is is the most expensive part of the phone! what should? Is it worth it ? Or is there any way where i can get the camera without spending too much bread ?

Hi, new here, my iPhone X 256GB has been with me since his launch on 2017 , so besides cost to repair I've decided to repair it completely.

I have a few questions about replacements brands and cost on repair recommended for an iPhone with 7 years alive in a month..

I read a few time ago about TX Pro brand for screen and about Johon high capacity batteries on Ali...but I don't know if those are the best replacements right now or if OLED screen won't work good anymore after replacements, besides I don't know if it will affect the phone depending of charging port brand of replacement too.

Talking about the battery, I don't know if higher capacity will damage the phone quicker than lower capacity batteries..

Talking about the OLED screen, usually gets too dark daily (not only on sunny and hot days , ALWAYS ) ,
I've already disabled the auto-brightness but I don't know if a replacement screen will have the same problems

Thanks in advance for help, have a nice day
