iPhone X stuck on iOS 16.4 despite enrolling in iOS 18 beta program

I use an iPhone X which runs on iOS 16.4, I joined the beta developer program, enrolled my device, and clicked the iOS 18 but my software update does not load up the iOS update files for iOS 18. It keeps saying the software is up to date.


How do I fix it?

That's because an iPhone X is NOT capable of running anything higher than iOS 16.7.10. Trying to use Beta software is pointless as it won't let you update that high.
