IPhone X - time for a replacement?
Discussion
I've had an IPhone X for a few years and it seems to be getting on a bit.
The main problem is that the touchscreen either freezes or goes haywire (as if it's being randomly pressed 20 times a second).
Unfortunately the phone is crucial for my work (it ha various authenticator apps, it has my work email accounts, work Teams account, OneDrive and work bank accounts). therefore I can't afford to leave it with anybody for them to attempt to replace the screen.
1. Am I just better off getting a new one?
2. How easy is it to migrate all the apps from the current phone to the new one?

If you get a new iPhone then everything should come across automatically.
You use the camera on the new phone to look at an animation on the old one (or vice-versa, I can’t remember which) and they then coordinate.
I went from the 12 to the fifteen, and it felt like a very worthwhile upgrade.

One of the best improvements in iPhones is how easy it is to port across all your stuff from your old iPhone. One point to note is that they bring out a new version around September time if you want to wait until the next one comes out. I have a 14 Pro Max which is starting to need charging more often so I'm thinking of upgrading but my current contract is up this month, so my bill is dropping to £9. I think I'll just keep mine until the 16 is out then buy one and get a better contract then.
Thanks all
Glad to hear that migration is painless. I've had a look at Apple's website and it looks like I'd get £110 for a trade-in - I assume they will wipe it clean while you wait? I really don't want all my emails and internet history and stored passwords to be available to anybody else

Completely painless process. When I bought my 14 pro it took about 20 mins in the shop.

I thought payment cards on Apple Pay had to be re entered on the new device, or has that now changed?
The card comes across to the new device, but needs to be authenticated with the bank - you get asked the enter the CVV and then get a text/email code back to verify on the phone.Gassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
