If by any chance, you are trying to update from iOS 16.7.10 to iOS 17, note that the iPhone X cannot run iOS 17. iOS 16 is the end of the line.

If you are trying to update from iOS 16.7.10 to iOS 17 on an iPhone X, you cannot. iOS 17 is not compatible with the iPhone X. If you are trying to update your iPhone X to the latest version of iOS 16, see the first link.

That would depend on which model phone you have.


• If you have an iPhone 5S or 6/6plus, the highest you can update to is 12.5.7

• If you have an iPhone 6S through 7, or SE 1st generation, you can update to 15.8.3

• If you have an iPhone 8 or X, you can update to 16.7.10

• If you have an iPhone SE (2nd generation or later), or XR through 15, you can update to 17.7 or 18.1


Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

You cannot update an iPhone X to iOS 17 or higher. iOS 16 is the end of the line for the iPhone X.


If you are having a problem updating an iPhone X to the latest release of iOS 16, please describe what you are doing, and the problem you are seeing, in more detail.
