> I'm still using an old iPhone 10. Apple has obsoleted it too. I can't install any apps from the "App Store" but it still does what I want most. The phone and the "Maps" and text apps still work fine. The iPhone X is still supported with the latest iOS release, iOS 16[1]. Just wondering what exactly isn't working or makes it seem obsolete? :-) I'm also a big fan of riding iPhones into the ground! My wife is still using an iPhone XS Max, that runs like new even on the latest iOS! :-) [1] https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/iphone/iphe3fa5df43/ios https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/iphone/iphe3fa5df43/io...

I’ve been pretty bad for upgrading every year but i stopped at the iPhone 11 and it’s what i’m typing on right now. The battery status is “service now” and claims 70% capacity. I noticed it getting annoyingly slow in some scenarios so before splashing to replace the battery i figured i’d try a clean reinstall and i have to say it’s cured it. So Even if the degraded battery is causing performance limitations like i was suspecting, it’s no longer enough to be a problem and a 70% battery easily gets me through a full day. One less battery in landfill. For now.

I can’t imagine still being on the iPhone X. It was so slow when I got the 12

  Slow in what sense? I was on an iPhone 8 until it broke a few months ago and it was plenty fast.

    I had my 6S until last summer (when I upgraded to 11 non-pro, it's the last iphone with a non-flickering screen right now)

    The main thing I notice is searching for an app in the search menu takes a long time. Opening apps also takes several seconds, and the phone will often get very hot just from normal use, like the CPU is being pegged just trying to run iOS. Some have said freeing up space on their iPhone fixes it, but I have not had success with that.

  My iPhone 6 is still snappy. Ex has an 8 which is great. How is an X slow?
