The sequence or the procedure to Reboot or Hard Reset iPhone X is different, compared to the earlier versions of iPhone. You will find below two different methods to Reboot iPhone X.
Hard Reset or Reboot iPhone X
The centrally located Home Button has been an integral part of iPhone, allowing users to Wake up iPhone, Return Back to Home screen, Force Restart iPhone and perform other common tasks.
Starting with iPhone 7, Apple replaced the Home button with a non-moving version, which simulated the click action with a tactile response.
This resulted in a new procedure to Force Restart iPhone 7, requiring users to Press and Hold both Power and Volume Down buttons for about 10 seconds.
