Apple makes mistakes too with it's many hardware-related and boot loop issues. The iPhone X was practically a lemon.

My iPhone X served me faithfully for five years without issue until I replaced it with an iPhone 14 Pro. A lemon? They seem to have sold 63 million[0] of just that model alone, which was introduced the same year as the normal iPhone 8, so it made up one-third of all sales that generation. Your comment is the first I've heard of any issues with the model.

I don't know what definition of "lemon" one could use to make it fit. I mean, iPhone X outsold every Android device other than the Galaxy SIII and S4, introduced five and four years prior.

See also the later Intel Mac keyboards, the display ribbon cable failures on the M1 Mac, both of which have caused work devices to fail on me

What are you talking about? I used it for 3 years, not a single problem nor have I heard of any. Cite your assertions.

A sample size of 1 then, ask anyone who sells them though, or look up boot loop issues with the X on the internet, or ask my sister who went through 2 faulty ones.

The iPhone X did very well looking at the sales.

The X in particular had many problems with it's sandwich board design. The second hand market is still bursting with tens of thousands of faulty devices.

So do Android phones.

What? I used an X daily until about two weeks ago when I bought a 14. Zero issues with it, and never even heard about any.
