My iPhone hasn't been holding a charge for very long and I decided to have the battery replaced. I headed over to Best Buy because they are an Apple authorized location for repairs. When I handed the phone to the repairman and he entered my info into the computer, he told me that Apple considers my iPhone X to be "vintage" and they will no longer replace the batteries. (Giving the consumer a push to buy a new phone?) He did tell me that I could probably still get the battery replaced...just not by Apple. He recommended a nearby shop called Tech Boys. They told me it would take about an hour, so I left and did some shopping before I returned. The phone wasn't quite ready so I pulled out a piece of paper from my purse and sketched a bit. Unfortunately the one battery they had wouldn't hold a charge and they had to order a new battery that would be delivered the next day. They put the old battery in the phone but now that wouldn't hold a charge any more. I was without a phone until the next afternoon. It is funny when you don't have your phone how much you rely on it all day. Luckily the following afternoon they replaced the battery and all is back to normal. The tech person did suggest that I replace the phone some time in the next 6-9 months. Because it is "vintage" it may not support updates or new apps for much longer. I know that is true...so maybe I'll be getting a new iPhone for Christmas. lol
