About the iPhone X

The iPhone X, released in 2017, marked a significant redesign for Apple, introducing the iconic all-screen display and Face ID. It was the first iPhone to feature an OLED screen, offering vibrant colors and deep blacks. Powered by the A11 Bionic chip, it delivered robust performance for its time, handling demanding apps and games with ease. Its dual-camera system provided excellent photo and video capabilities, including portrait mode and optical zoom. This device represents a pivotal moment in smartphone design, combining premium materials like a glass back and stainless steel frame with advanced technology. Its compact form factor, coupled with a large display, made it a popular choice for users seeking a powerful yet manageable device. The iPhone X continues to be a valuable device due to its durable build, strong Apple ecosystem support, and still-capable performance for everyday tasks.

Common iPhone X issues we check at inspection

  • Screen burn-in on OLED display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on OLED panels after extended use. This is inherent to OLED technology.
  • Battery degradation below 80% health. Original battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use. Apple's battery health reporting is a key indicator.
  • Face ID failure. The TrueDepth camera system for Face ID can fail due to hardware issues or damage, rendering a key feature unusable.
  • Cracked or damaged screen. The glass front can crack from drops, leading to touch unresponsiveness or visual defects.
  • Water damage indicators tripped. Despite IP67 rating, liquid contact can cause internal corrosion and component failure, often not immediately apparent.
  • iCloud Activation Lock. Device is locked to a previous owner's Apple ID, making it unusable without credentials. Sellers often fail to remove this.
