I phone x discontinued

unless there is just some crazy run on parts for that model of iPhone I don't see any issues being able to get parts for it even after its discontinued because there are lots of people that have them. If you are concerned Id contact your nearest apple store and just ask them directly, expressing to them your concerns. Most Apple stores should have a decent of amount of parts in stock or easily available if needed.

Apple has a public 5-year (after it's been discontinued) policy where they consider a device to be supported with repair parts. It's 7 years in California.

Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support

Right now the oldest iPhone not on the vintage/obsolete list is the 4s. For the most part you don't really need "parts" for an iPhone other than the glass or battery. If Apple does any other "service" on an iPhone they'll usually just replace the whole device with a new or refurb equivalent, and send the old one to the factory to be refurbished.

Yes. Actually Apple has not said the iPhone X will be discontinued rumor sources have. But it might only be a retirement of the name since it celebrated the tenth anniversary of the iPhone. Parts are still available for the iPhone 5s.

Why wouldn't you?

What is it that you think has happened?

It is simply the newest, latest, most advanced iPhone to date. Apple has said nothing about discontinuing it. It is simply the latest version of the iPhone.

Do you think I should keep the I phone x

Are you dissatisfied with it in any way? Whether or not parts are going to be unavailable at a future date wouldn't really enter in any decision I would make. There's no electronics manufacturer making an advanced smart phone that isn't going to stop providing hardware support in about 5 years after they stop selling it.

What parts are you referring to?
