How to Force Reboot the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus

Dan Uff October 1, 2017 0

For those who have purchased an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus, Apple has changed the way users reboot the device.

Up until now, users would hold the HOME and the POWER button at the same time and wait for the Apple Logo to show up. Now, users need to do the below:

Press and then release the VOLUME UP button.
Press and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
Press and then HOLD the power button until you see the Apple () logo.

It's not known if the iPhone X will follow suit, but you can be sure we'll find out and print it here :-)

Having trouble getting to the iOS 11 Command Center? Try this!

The Command Center in iOS 11 is a great addition. But some iPhone cases makes it harder for a user to swipe up from the bottom to activate it. Fortunately, Apple has made it easier for users to get to this and other most used commands. Here's how to activate it:

Go into SETTINGS > GENERAL > ACCESSIBILITY.
Scroll down until you see the AssistiveTouch option.
Flip the AssistiveTouch option ON.
You'll see a gray square with a white circle appear on the right side of the screen.
By tapping it, you'll see another menu pop-out.
Tap Control Center.
The Control Center will come up from the bottom.

The gray square can be moved around on the screen to get it out of the way from other menu options.

Sometime Thursday, leading cell carrier Consumer Cellular started selling the Apple iPhone 8. Normally, the carrier is one of the last companies to start selling new iPhones since it is not apart of Apple's standard cell choices and the device has to be unlocked for the phone to work properly.
