Though inconspicuous upon initial thought, 2017 was a funky old year. A lot went on that most of us have probably forgotten. The Hollywood sign was remodelled by a rebel graffiti artist, the world was introduced to the now infamous Salt Bae, and Fyre Festival left excited influencers deflated after failing to deliver. 2017 was also the year the Apple iPhone X was revealed to eager fanatics. On September 12 at Apple’s Cupertino campus, the iPhone X took centre stage, aiming to showcase what Apple thought to be the technology of the future.
The phone had a whole host of features that Apple claimed would revolutionise both technology and aesthetic design of smartphones. A glass and stainless-steel ‘bezel-less’ design will get you going as soon as you open the box, striking buyers as clean, fresh and minimalist. It was also the first of Apple’s devices to use an OLED screen and the ID feature many users had become used to (Touch ID) was replaced by the all-new Face ID, which would prove to be a big hit.
At the time of launch, the iPhone X was the most expensive iPhone to date with a price tag of a $1000. The phone received generally good feedback from major networks and critics and sales were strong in the quarters that followed. However, just 10 months after launch, the iPhone X was discontinued as the tech giant’s flagship model and replaced by the XS. As of February 2019 Apple, sell refurbished iPhone X devices meaning there remains a large number of iPhone X users in the general market. The device sold over 12 million units in the first 3 months and continues to be popular amongst mobile users.

Saving yourself money with an iPhone X Unlock
We all love travelling, right? After the year we’ve all had I’m sure now more than ever you’re looking forward to your next trip abroad. There’s nothing more frustrating for travellers, whether you travel once a year or frequently with business than returning home to a huge unexpected bill due to your networks roaming charges. We all know that devices are subject to these roaming charges, they are the charges your network applies for you to continue to use your phone abroad.
However, these days most of our usage relies almost entirely on data, we can even call from WhatsApp now using mobile data. To save money all you need to is to find a way to access cheap data abroad allowing you to avoid roaming charges altogether. The good news is that this is simple, all you need to do is unlock your iPhone X. Once unlocked you can remove your domestic SIM, find a local store wherever you are, purchase a local SIM with a data package suiting your needs, insert it to your device and you will save a hell of a lot of money while using your phone as normal.
The vast majority of mobile users now opt for network contracts, this means not only is their device locked but they are also only able to purchase data and minutes from a single network. The main networks often grossly overcharge for minutes and data on these contracts, often by around 300% compared to emerging competitors. The SIM-only market is booming, savvy consumers can find themselves with unlimited data for as little as £10 a month. So, whether your phone is paid for or not, you can unlock your device now and switch your usage to a much better deal saving you up to £30 a month, that’s £300 over the year, all for an unlock which will cost circa £20.
