When acquiring a mobile, many people not only look at which one is currently, but what could be the one that lasted the most, since they do not mind spending a little more, if they finally have a device for twice as much time, and in this case Apple does very well.
The best of Apple is that he keeps his Updated devices for many years. And although some model stops receiving new versions, it will continue to work without problems for quite some time, since it is still compatible with most apps, from there to an iphone with 8 years to remain totally useful.
iPhone X in 2025
In 2017, Apple presented the iPhone X, a revolution, especially for its screen, leaving aside the Touch ID, gaining more dimensions in its front panel and using Face ID as an unlock method. Do not hesitate and bought it, and now, 8 years later, it continues to function as the first day.
It is true that it takes a long time in a drawer, and we cannot compare it with the continued use of all this time, however, when I turned it on again, I have realized that It is still a great phoneand that all applications, despite the fact that some had to be updated, continue to be executed without problem, although IOS 18.
This led me to think, how long could an iPhone last? And it is that changing the battery, I could continue to be my personal mobile without problem, and although there are obviously many things that are missing, especially comparing it with the last market, it is more than enough for most users, since you can run from WhatsApp and Instagram, to the Candy Crush or watch Netflix movies.
After being with him for a while, I realized that the battery I needed a change, however, it did not heat up, the screen was better than it believed, especially for a 2017 device, and everything flowed without problems. If not because obviously the quality and resolution is greater on an iPhone 13 pro or higher, I would say that it is a current mobile, and that turns 8 in 2025.
It is true that, just as I am surprised and I like it, I would not buy it currentlyand not because it does not work well, but because having no more updates, at any time, apps such as WhatsApp, and especially banking, may require a version that is not compatible, and stay from one day to another without something important, as well as the possible safety risks due to the gaps that cybercounts can find in this system, without the possibility of fixing it because, as we said, we would not Apple for it. So as a secondary telephone and to play it is fine, but unfortunately the company has a lot to say in this, because they are the ones to stop supporting iPhone that, although they work properly, they already want to discourage.
And you, do you have any older? Leave us a comment about its operation, and how many years is the maximum that one has lasted.
