Apple’s iPhone X officially launched today, and everyone who wants to own one but didn’t take the opportunity to pre-order it can try to buy one at a local store. Whether you bought your iPhone X today or you’re waiting for it to be shipped to you, you may want to get to know more about it, so we’ve put together this iPhone X guide to help you out. While new smartphones don’t tend to lag or have their apps freeze and crash, one big difference is the way you turn off, reboot, or force restart the iPhone X.
Older iPhone models were equipped with a power button and physical home buttons, which made it pretty easy to turn off or reset them. Apple decided to let the buttons go for its newer iPhone X in order to make a bezel-less screen. Still, the company made sure that turning off your device or performing a hard reset or force restart remained as easy as it was with the old physical buttons, although the process is slightly different.
