7 years with the iPhone X, just upgraded to iPhone 16 Pro Max

After sticking with my iPhone X for 7 years, I’ve finally upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Ask me anything!

I went with the 15 Pro, but it feels weird leaving my X behind.

Congrats! Big change ahead. I still keep my X as a backup after 7 years too. Ordered the 16 Pro Max myself.

Congrats! I’ve had my X for reading even after upgrading two years ago. The size is perfect compared to my 14 Pro. It’s lighter too, and I’ve definitely dropped it on my face while falling asleep!

Good for you. The X was a classic. Enjoy the new phone!

Still rocking my X every day. My iPhone 11 Pro is my go-to for my YouTube channel. I won’t buy a new iPhone until they get rid of that weird screen cutout. Maybe the 17 Pro will finally have a pinhole camera. The ‘dynamic island’ will probably end up like the ‘touch bar’ on Macs—something people will forget about.

I tried the 15 Pro but it felt too heavy, so I went back to my X. Sure, the camera isn’t as good and it’s slower, but it’s just easier to hold for everyday stuff.

Same here! The picture quality is a big improvement, and everything runs so much faster. But the X was a great phone.

Yeah, it was the start of how iPhones look now. Definitely a legendary model.

Of course it’s faster! The processor gets upgraded every year. Going from a X to a 16 is a huge leap.

Still holding on to my X. I’ll only upgrade if my apps stop working with the new iOS.

I miss the rounded edges of the X. Wish the newer models had that.

Still using my X, but the 16 Pro is tempting me.

I miss my X, it was the most beautiful phone ever.

Does the 16 Pro Max feel heavy after long use?

My XS overheated and died on me, and it was the best size for my hands. I’m thinking of upgrading to the 16 Pro Max, but is it too big to use with one hand? Can you still reach the keyboard with your thumb? How does it fit in your pocket?

I’m on my second battery but still loving my X. It’s the longest I’ve ever used a phone. A few years ago, Apple broke the screen while replacing the battery, so they gave me a new screen, microphone, and battery—all for the price of the battery swap. I got lucky with that timing!
