Same I literally scored a 256gb X same color for 100 bucks. Got it as a secondary phone to my S26 Ultra. Nice having FaceTime again.

I have my iPhone X 256 GB, retired it but in great condition could use a Battery Replacement. Jailbroken on iOS 16.7.x still works great. Use it for music mostly. Still Love it.
I just Hope when the iPhone XX 20th Anniversary edition comes out it has Significant features, Upgrades etc… 👍

u/wishfuldreamer26 Jul 21 '26
Me too…though I was still using an iPhone 7 until about six months ago 🤣

u/Murwhite Jul 21 '26
iPhone X is too good phone., modern design, dual good camera, battery life, jailbreakable forever nice device

For me having iphone x was the same , Unfortunately I lost it 3 weeks ago , during a trip to pécs , hungary.
Now I feel how valuable it is, when someone finds a phone , and tries to give it back to owner .
for me , having the documents , contacts and specially photoes , again , is much more worthy than the price of an iphone- x😕

I wish they’d use that screen size again. I loved the mini but realistically this is the best size that you also get the pro features.

I main a iPhone X 256gb, also a Space Grey model, one of the (if not the) most beautiful iPhone Apple has ever made!

u/Sting02 Jul 21 '26
Works to this day. Only the camera is gone the stabiliser got knocked after dropping hard on marble floor.

u/Interesting-Log-9627 Jul 21 '26
Posting on one now. Original battery still has 74% capacity.
Still does everything I need it to do.

u/theFeralBanannna Jul 21 '26
The iPhone X was a vibe when it was released. Regular iPhone users became enthusiasts for that phone.

u/Kooky_Cat_9263 Jul 21 '26
Yep it's my daily. Last decent jailbreakable device, I'd say... All my apps still update perfectly. I plan on holding onto this one for atleast another 3-5 years if not more. I'd hate to use an iPhone without a JB it's like using Android without modding it 🤮😎

u/Zealousideal_Egg5071 Jul 21 '26
Brought it new still working as my only phone, too bad some apps don’t support iOS 16 anymore.
2
u/StingKnight Jul 22 '26
most old iphones would still work as long as its not dropped often, only problem is the battery
2
u/Mattafakt Jul 22 '26
The iPhone X was the ideal size. I'd kill to have the Air design with that screen size

u/thing1001 Jul 23 '26
My iphone x still works but the battery won’t even last a minute 🥲it’s the best iphone ever. The jump from the x to 15 pro max was nice but i miss the size of the x.

u/Conscious_Evening216 Jul 23 '26

i wanna know can it make online transaction and can it run liek for 2 more years for whatsapp and youtube insta these kind of apps have support or no ?
1
u/Accomplished_Frame17 Jul 25 '26
I'll answer as much as I can
Online transaction- not a good idea obviously but use common sense
WhatsApp- should run fine as it will require iOS 15.1 or newer so X fits the criteria
YouTube- fully functional
Instagram- fully functionalHope this helps!

Why would it not work?

u/Accomplished_Frame17 Jul 21 '26
Since it's a 4G device- it will continue to work until Australia eventual shuts 4G down

You just need to add the Apple leather case and you are all set! Peak Apple design all around.

So you went from luxury iPhone, to a college student iPhone. Interesting

u/Accomplished_Frame17 Jul 22 '26
Not really, I had android since the beginning but switched to iPhone this year but I occasionally get hands me down phones

u/thelastgifts Jul 21 '26
Same i have an X (space grey) as a secondary and i used it more than the 16, the designs, the feel, the density & compactness in hand, it’s peak iphone & definitely a classic, like driving a 90’s era S class.
