The new flagship Apple surprised apple fans by the lack of a Home button. Therefore, all actions on a smartphone are performed differently than on previous versions. The functions of the buttons have also changed, and users have many questions. One of them is how to turn off the iPhone 10. Developers traditionally insured themselves in case of a mechanical button failure and offered several options for turning off the gadget.
Turning off the iPhone 10 using the buttons
The iPhone 10 doesn't have a Sleep / Wake key. Now pressing the side button 'Power' blocks or wakes up the gadget, 2 clicks opens Apple Pay, and holding this key activates Siri. There was simply no room for the shutdown option, and Apple figured out a new way to turn off the iPhone X without going to the main menu. For this you need:
- Simultaneously press and hold the side Power button and one of the volume buttons for a couple of seconds.
- On the screen that opens with the iPhone shutdown slider, slide your finger across the slider from left to right to turn off the gadget.
If you just press and release the power and volume buttons, the shutdown slider will not appear, but you will get a screenshot of the screen.
Shutdown iPhone X via settings
In iOS 11, the developers added the ability to turn off the iPhone 10 via 'Settings'. You can send your smartphone to rest in the following way:
- In the 'Settings' go to the 'General' section.
- Scroll to the end of the menu and select the 'Disable' option located at the bottom of the screen.
- On the screen that opens, swipe the shutdown slider to the left.
