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?

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

Well, got an IPhone 15 for £799 less £105 px for the XS.
I have to be honest, the switchover hasn't been seamless. All my email accounts needed passwords re-entering, most of my banking apps (work and personal) seem to be using 2FA and sending the codes to my old phone which I no longer have, and my household CCTV/alarm system notification alerts arent working. irritating to the say the least.
Also, is there anything that converts an Apple Lightning connector to a USB-C connector? I have about 5 lightning cables around the house/car/office and it would save them being wasted if i could just change the tip to a USB-C
