Congratulations for resisting and resisting the annual siren update song, the new iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max and (possibly) the owner of the iPhone XR. You have entered the new paradigm shift of Apple, where the Home button belongs to the past. While many have already figured out how to navigate the basics of the iPhone X, you might need a little help to overcome this decade of muscle memory that is suddenly useless.
First of all, if you have not already installed your iPhone, tear it up and remove it. Hello brochure, it is actually a handy reminder about using your new iPhone without a button. If you do not have it, do not worry, I have you covered.
1. go home
By now, you have probably figured out how to get Home (since the iPhone XS guides you through this part of iOS during activation). Slide your finger from the bottom, wherever you are, and you will access your home screen. Keep in mind that "bottom" is relative and that if you are in a landscape oriented game like Hearthstone, you will have to use the bottom.
I will be honest, it is the gesture that pushed me the strongest when I started using my X last year, but now whenever I use the iPhone 8 of my wife, my nose wrinkles with disgust. .
2. Switch and Kill Apps
No more double-clicking to access the application switch. But the XS solution is just as good once you get used to it. Now that your iPhone is unlocked, hold it down and slide it down. Slide your finger to browse open applications. You can even send them back (I'm so glad they added that).
3. Take a screen shot
If you have not done so already, prepare your Photos application so that it is peppered with random snapshots of your lock screen. Why are they here? Because you accidentally took a screenshot. How did you do that? Easy. Quickly press the Volume Up button and the Lock button at the same time. What's good is that for a few seconds after shooting, iOS will display the new screenshot in a widget so you can share it or edit it immediately. You do not want screen capture? Click the widget and delete it when iOS asks if you want to keep it.
4. Access the Control Center and Notifications
Before using Face ID to unlock the iPhone XS, there's a ton you can do from the Control Center, but the way you get there is slightly different. Now you have to slide down from the right corner.
So, what is this other corner? Well, once you've unlocked your iPhone XS, slide your finger from the left corner to see your notifications.
5. Start Siri
To launch your virtual assistant always in learning-refusal-to-learn-how-to-pronounce-your-last-name-even-if-trained-a-dozen times, click the Lock button and hold it down the right side XS.
6. Power off, forced restart, and SOS calls
So, if the Lock button locks the phone or activates Siri, how do you shut down or restart on the iPhone XS? You must be a little more deliberate (and you will probably need both hands).
To turn off, quickly press and release the Volume Up button on the left side, then do the same with the Volume Down button. Press immediately and hold the lock button and you will be greeted with the familiar Drag to turn off cursor.
But if your XS is stuck and you try to perform a forced reboot (Apple's whimsical term for a reboot), you must do the above, and then hold down the Lock button. After about 10 seconds, the display will turn off. Hold down the Lock button and release it when the Apple startup screen appears.
Just make sure you do not hold the Volume button at the same time! If you continue to hold it and the lock button, you will see the SOS call menu. You can either slide the SOS slider or hold the buttons down, your emergency call will be placed after five seconds.
This should be enough for you to use your new iPhone XS. If you need to drive wheels for a while, follow my instructions from last year to get a virtual home button!
