Apple has changed approach to force restart iPhone after iPhone 8 and iPhone X releases. These adjustments came up only in year after alike changes were made for iPhone 7 which was the very first iOS device Apple didn’t involve a Home button in force restart or hard reset.
Force restart iPhone is not the only thing these adjustments impacted on. Proceedings for enter recovery-mode on iPhone & iPad, as well as enter DFU mode, were changed too. Our short video guide will give you the insight on how these adjustments actually look like.
As you can see in the video, iOS 11.1 second beta release brought changes as for SOS or emergency dialing on iPhone 8. Starting with this iOS version, pressing and holding the Side button (aka Sleep/Wake button) and any of volume buttons activates the SOS dialing feature.
