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.

iOS 17 is not supported on iPhone X.


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


To get to iOS 17 and particularly 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 current iOS 26. iPhone X cannot.


Time to replace thus iPhone X with a newer or new iPhone.

iOS 16.7.11 is the end of the line for the iPhone X, You need an iPhone XR or later to get iOS 17, and 18, but I do not recommend the iPhone XR, XS or XS Max, because the phones that I've just listed DO NOT get the new iOS 26 update, you need an iPhone 11 or later to run iOS 26, what I recommend is get an iPhone 12 or later, because the iPhone 11 might lose support aswell next year, don't make my mistake.
