Buying an iPhone X in late 2023 for 140$ - good deal? (alien.top)

I’ve found one for a great price (140$) and with a battery at 100% (owner changed the battery after selling).

The Face ID doesn’t work though and I only need the phone until probably the new year as I’m using an iPhone 7 stuck on iOS 14 (long story) which means apps don’t work anymore and it lags quite badly.

The phone is a clean unit, no scratches and dents and I’ve checked the IMEI online and it’s not a stolen phone. The seller even sent me proof of the receipt when he purchased it.

I’m a moderate user (Reddit and Instagram mostly). Should I go for it or just wait until I can afford a better phone (saving up for the iPhone 15 Pro)?

And how does the camera hold up in 2023? I like taking photos and I’m just hoping the photos I take will look decent on social media.

Thanks!

Not sure if it matters. But the iPhone X does not support iOS 17.

We have an old X we're keeping for kid occasional use. it's stuck on iOS 15 and it's throttling enough the keyboard is a bit laggy.

Skip.

Definitely buy a better one. X is too old. Minimum at least the 13. Before that its a loose canon
