How to turn off iPhone X, iPhone Xs, iPhone Xr or iPhone Xs Max

Turn off iPhone X

Until the launch of the iPhone X, the start / sleep button of the iPhone also allowed us to turn off the device if we kept it pressed for a few seconds. However, with the launch of the iPhone X everything changed. If we want to turn off our iPhone X, and later models we must press the start / rest side button together with any of the volume buttons.

At that time, the screen of our iPhone will show a slider that invites us to slide your finger along its path to turn off the device.

This is not the only way we have to turn off our iPhone X, because through the Settings menus, we also have the option to turn off our iPhone, regardless of the model. For this we must go to Settings> General> Turn off. This option is also available on the iPad, regardless of the model.

iPad Pro 2018 Face ID

  • Press and quickly release the button to increase the volume.
  • Quickly press and release the button to decrease the volume.

How to turn off iPad Pro with Face ID

I turn off or restart the device

Like a computer, restarting is not the same as shutting down. If we proceed to turn off our iPhone, the operating system will be responsible for closing all open processes to proceed with a shutdown of the safe operating system and that it does not present operating problems when we start it again. This same theory applies to computers.

On the other hand, if we restart the device, the operation of the operating system is completely cut off, without allowing time for applications and services to close properly on our device. As in the previous case, this theory also applies to computers. The problem with restarting our computer is that not only can we lose data in the process, since part of the operating system can be corrupted, but this process also takes more time for the device to be operational again.

When we are forced to restart our iPhone, because it does not respond to any function, nor to the one that allows us to turn off the system, we will not suffer any risk of data loss or that they have the opportunity to get corrupted, since the system is completely stopped and is not performing no action

Why my iPhone hangs

because the iPhone hangs

The main reason why our iPhone can show operating problems, we find both in the operating system and in specific applications. Apple designs each new version of iOS for a given number of devices, so it adapts to each and every one of them, so that The performance of our iPhone should be the best possible.

With each new version of iOS, developers have to update your applications to make them 100% compatible with the new version of iOS. Fortunately for users, most developers quickly update their applications so they are compatible and do not present any operational problems. If they take longer than necessary, Apple contacts them to speed up the update process if they don't want to see themselves outside the App Store.

Since 2017, Apple makes available to all users a iOS public beta program, So any user who wants to try the news of the next version of iOS can do so without being a developer. As a rule, Apple usually launches a couple of betas from the next version of iOS for developers only, before launching the public beta.

The reason is none other than the system stability. The stability of the system is something secondary for the developers, since its purpose is for them to start updating their applications to the new version of iOS and incidentally add compatibility with the new functions that Apple has implemented.

The stability of our device managed by an iOS beta is not the most appropriate if we use our iPhone daily as the main device, since this can be restarted from time to time and for no apparent reason, applications can be closed or directly not open at any time in addition to taking a long time to open … It is a beta and like any beta of an operating system, It is under development until the final version is released.
