Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗
Open Settings ➢ General ➢ Software Update.
If you get the message; "iOS is up to date", then your iPhone has reached the end-of-life support for Software Updates to the latest iOS operating system, depriving you of new features created many years ago.
Many modern apps are not compatible, limiting the usability of your device.
You are invited to visit an Apple retail store to discuss your iPhone upgrade options.
Learn about the ⇢ iPhone Upgrade Program. ⇠📲
Your available options:
- Your iPhone X is eligible for a trade-in, worth up to $50 if it’s in good condition.
- If your iPhone X is damaged, then the only option is to recycle it for free. ♻️
Good luck! 👋🏼😉

An iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, or iPhone X isn't capable of 17 or above; they require an A12 or better CPU.

That is an easy one. The iPhone X does not have the hardware capable of running iOS 17, so you would need to purchase a new device.
