On the note of will it be “noticeably slow in 2024” I have to say you might not even notice.

I’m using an iPhone X here in 2022 and honestly other than the battery life being a bit lower than usual, the phone is super snappy, even on these latest iOS releases.

It’s basically 5 years old and it’s still doing amazingly well.

I have an X myself and decided to throw the towel this year. I'm out of memory with the 64GB and have to keep pushing 5 years worth of photos and messages out. I also had to replace the battery once already and had to replace the camera (wobbly lens, all of the sudden) too.

I had to replace the screen twice (first time under the extended warranty/recall, second time I had to pay; it just becomes unresponsive and you get locked out of the phone). To make matters worse, the new one is arriving on Friday and the screen stopped working again last Monday. More than 90 days passed since the previous repair, so nothing to do and I'm locked out of the phone again because you can only unlock iphones through the touchscreen.

The phone is everything but snappy these days. I don't have tons of apps, but it stutters significantly from time to time.

One detail, phone doesn't have one scratch and is in perfect condition outside. Dropped it very few times and it was always inside a good case.

Wait? That unresponsive time is from the screen?! I get that for a minute or so sometimes but then it goes away. I thought it was the iOS software glitching out. Is it maybe a faulty digitizer?

I luckily have only had to replace the battery once for a small cost out of warranty. My storage is 256 GB, so that isn’t an issue yet.

I’m going to go look into unresponsive iPhone X displays now cause I feel like I’m having the starting signs of this issue with mine. It’s not a huge issue, as it rarely happens, but I’m curious now.

Sorry to hear your phone is super slow. I have a slew of apps on mine and it behaves rather well for me. shrug

Well, the iphone 11’s CPU is roughly on par with the best the Android side can offer today. So it is not that surprising, especially given apple’s care for their older devices. Even an 8 is plenty fast/smooth for usage today.
