Second-Hand iPhone X

Buy Second Hand iPhone X in Australia

The iPhone X changed everything when Apple launched it in 2017. It brought Face ID, ditched the home button, and introduced that edge-to-edge screen everyone copies now. Fast forward to 2025, and buying any of these older iPhones makes perfect sense if you want premium Apple features without current flagship pricing. A refurbished iPhone X still delivers a high-end experience at a fraction of the cost.

Here's the reality: these phones still run iOS 16 smoothly, take decent photos, and feel expensive in your hand. Sure, they're not the latest and greatest, but for many people, they do everything needed from a smartphone.

iPhone X - The Game Changer That's Still Relevant

At around A$239-329, depending on storage, a second hand iPhone X delivers solid value. You get:

• 5.8-inch OLED screen that's bright enough for outdoor use
• Face ID that works reliably
• Wireless charging convenience
• A11 chip that handles daily apps without drama

The dual cameras take good photos during the day and manage okay in lower light - though don't expect miracles. If you're coming from an iPhone 7 or 8, the X feels like stepping into the future.

Storage considerations:

• 64GB model feels cramped after six months of normal use
• 256GB version costs $100 more but saves constant storage juggling

What You Need to Know Before Buying

Check these key areas:

• Battery health: Anything below 80% means replacement needed soon ($99-129)
• Face ID functionality: Test thoroughly in different lighting conditions
• Water resistance: Seals weaken over time - don't trust for swimming
• Screen condition: Check for burn-in or dead pixels

Speaking ofiPhone X deals, timing your purchase around end-of-month inventory clearances often saves an extra 10-15%.
