Is the iPhone X still worth buying?

Only as a cheap secondary phone or for basic use. It stopped at iOS 16, so it misses newer security fixes and features. If you need long-term support, a newer model is a better buy.

Does the iPhone X support 5G?

No. It supports LTE only, so data speeds depend on your carrier's 4G network.

Retail boxes included the phone, a Lightning cable, a 5W charger, and EarPods. Used listings often include only the phone, so check before buying.

How does the iPhone X compare to the iPhone XS?

The XS adds a faster A12 chip, better cameras, and dual SIM, and it gets newer iOS versions. The X is cheaper but has a shorter support life.

Is the iPhone X battery replaceable?

Yes. Apple and repair shops can replace it. Check the battery health in Settings before buying used; below 80% means a replacement is likely soon.

Our take on the Apple iPhone X

The iPhone X is Apple's 2017 tenth-anniversary phone. It introduced the edge-to-edge 5.8-inch OLED screen, Face ID, and the notch, and it dropped the home button. It runs on the A11 Bionic chip with 3 GB of RAM and dual 12 MP cameras. Apple stopped supporting it with new iOS versions after iOS 16, so it no longer gets security updates.
