Had one at 74% battery until a month ago that I accidentally dropped and the screen just malfunctioned. It had never been repaired and it was already a second-hand phone I bought a year or two ago. Instead of repairing it, I upgraded to iPhone 13 because where I am based those two options costed around the same, and I was planning on upgrading next year anyway. They accepted my iPhone X with the damaged screen and even gave me a discount in the final price for the 13, so I'm sure it will get repaired and given a third life. Short answer: yes. Maybe a bit slow and without the latest functions but definitely can still use. It's an amazing phone. If you're a normal person who just wants a phone with social media capabilities, and is not interested in the latest thing, this is still a good one, probably for the next two years max. For children is also a great one unless your kiddo plays videogames-- it will get very hot and will probably lag a bit. I remember mine with love. It was indeed a great phone. I hope is in good hands and that it makes its next owner very happy like it made me. ♥

With 89% battery health, my iPhone 13 drains all the way to 20 within 5 hours of minimal usage (approx 2hours screen on time) if the cellular data is ON. Bro how does your iPhone X manages to stay up with this solid performance even the cellular data is ON all the day? 🙂

[@bartsimpson274]

Tbh 89% kinda low considering once it hits 80% is time to get a new battery

[@bartsimpson274]

But the new iso or just the phone model will just drain power I guess

[@Upwards._]

Strange, maybe you need to adjust some of the background usage? There’s a few tricks I found in a video on KZbin, search up iPhone battery tips (:

[@_nilson]

Do you have background refresh disabled?

[@Anelectro]

Everything is done according to the battery saving tips and the background app refresh is only ON for WhatsApp.

It’s pretty awesome! Thanks!!

[@ALiceBittencourt]

I bought mine in 2018 and I still own it, its battery health is still at 73% and its processor can still handle a lot of games. it still serves me for social media, but since Apple has finished its software updates, I'll have to buy a new one. Sad for me since it was my first cell phone bought with my own money 😅

[@wht-rabt-obj]

THANK YOU!!!!! I have started watching several of these "iPhone X in 2024" videos and end up clicking off them after a few seconds, because the reviewer says "iPhone EX". How can anybody trust your tech review of a phone, when you don't even know the correct name?! As soon as you said "iPhone Ten", it made my heart (and brain) happy! Subscribed just because of that! Awesome video!

[@Upwards._]

Hahah glad you liked the video! I still remember talking to an Apple rep and they always sure to say iPhone “ten”. More videos on the way!

[@MickiMinach]

1h 39m SOT is insane. My iPhone SE3 is at 3.5h SOT and it's at 88% BH. Currently at 21% charge. My last charge was 37 hours ago. I'm watching this because I'm thinking of getting another backup phone with a less processed camera (since newer ones like mine have Smart HDR) . I think I'll go for the 12 mini since its price is close to the X now.

bro i bought iphone x 2 days ago. Its battery health is 77% and about 40% of the battery is consumed in an hour of Wi-Fi usage. Can you please tell me what to do, I was thinking of replacing the battery with a new one but I'm afraid it won't be the same. PLEASE HELP ME

[@Upwards._]

I recommend searching up iPhone battery tips on KZbin, I used a guide and it helped a lot with battery usage!

[@huntingfishingcamping7179]

you should replace the battery. no tricks will help you. 77% is already a critical amount of charge. and he sits down very quickly. just replace the battery with a more powerful one. You can buy a higher-power battery for this iPhone, of course it will not be original, but the same quality battery. for example, the native battery is 2700 mAh, and the new one is 3500 mAh. The difference is big. And it will work for another couple of years without problems. Disable unnecessary functions and applications. reset to factory settings. Or make a restore through iTunes, this will also help reduce battery consumption

[@Fuppe.]

[@debrasaganmaraj3810]

I think something to note is that not everyone uses their phones with the brightness that high, and a lot of people don’t use gps or mobile data so I think it would hold up just fine even with 72% bh for a moderate user

[@aurablue368]

yeah I've got it and its at 80% battery. tbh works pretty well for me
