I think the X is not for sale because the Xs is an identical phone, except for the newer A12 chip and increased water resistance by 1m. If they were to sell the X it would have to be at a lower price point, then who would buy the Xs at $1000?

They've generally kept older models around, haven't they? The 7 is nearly identical to the 8 and didn't get discontinued last year.

The X is too expensive to make for them to be able to significantly lower the price and keep selling it.

This is mostly caused by the OLED screen which is why this years lower end introduction has an LCD screen
