Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~4-year update track record — on that basis the X90 Pro+ should be supported until around December 2026. Buying it today still gets you about 0.5 years of safe use, and Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years (verified June 2026).

Frequently asked questions

Is the X90 Pro+ still supported in 2026?

It is right at the edge. With an estimated four-year security window from December 2022, patches are expected to conclude around late 2026, and OS upgrades are already finished.

How long will the X90 Pro+ last?

Hardware longevity is strong thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and IP68 build, but with support ending, plan to use it as a still-capable device into 2027 without new patches.

Is the X90 Pro+ worth buying in 2026?

As a heavily discounted import it offers flagship cameras and performance, best for photography fans who don't mind that its software support is essentially over.
