To iOS 16, sure.


To iOS 17, iOS 18, or the upcoming iOS 26, no, you will need a newer or new iPhone.


That iPhone X has reached its limit.


iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone SE 2nd gen, or newer are required for iOS 17 and iOS 18.


iPhone SE 2nd gen, iPhone 11, and later, are the oldest supported on the upcoming iOS 26.

Replace it with a newer or new iPhone.


An iPhone X is limited to iOS 16, and newer iOS versions are not supported.


To get to iOS 17 and the current iOS 18, you will need an iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone SE 2nd, or newer.


But best acquire an iPhone 11, or iPhone SE 2nd, or later, as those can run iOS 26 imminently arriving.

Use the Ask The Community link at the top of this webpage, re-ask this, and provide some details about what you want to customize, whether hardware or software or skins or cases or apps installed or whatever else.


Also which phone you want to customize.


As for software updates with an iPhone X (if that is what you have here), iOS 17 and iOS 18 needs iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone SE 2nd, or newer. Preferably, iPhone 11, iPhone SE 2nd, or newer too, as those are supported with iOS 26 arriving Real Soon Now.
