iPhone X it has a side button that can be customized, that is, that Power button from the old iPhone models is transformed by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in a multifunctional button. If until now we could use the side button to lock or close any iPhone or iPad tablet, starting with the iPhone X it will have more functions available, some being taken over from the defunct Home button of the current models.
iPhone X will allow us to use the side button to activate the personal assistant Siri, and this is because the Home button has completely disappeared, and Hey Siri should not be the only method of activation. A double press on the side button will allow you to quickly open the Wallet application to make payments through Apple Pay, but the iPhone X will also allow you to activate the emergency SOS function.
The iPhone X is not limited here with this functionality, the company offers accessibility functions for the side button, like the Home button. More precisely, the side button of the iPhone X can have different functionality to allow the typing of commands to Siri, or the activation of Face ID, the speed of pressing the side button can also be modified, as those from Apple also allowed us with the Home button.
iPhone X has customizable side button through iOS 11
iPhone X allows you to use the side button to prevent the screen from locking when looking at notifications, or to reduce the volume of received alerts. Basically, the side button in iPhone X will have no less than 5 functions available for users, but Apple could add others, but the closing will no longer be done with its help, but using an option available in the settings application, so it will you have to get used to it.
iPhone X is not the first Apple product with a side button that can be multifunctional in this way, iPad tablets having two functions for the Mute button. Those from Apple were most likely inspired by there to offer this functionality, so users will be able to decide how they want to use the new side button, especially since they will have to get used to the lack of the standard Home button in phones.
The iPhone X has a longer side button than the one offered in previous models, so it will be easier to press considering that it also has a much larger diagonal screen. Apple will announce some of these iPhone X news on September 12, and starting at 19:30 I'm waiting for you on iDevice.ro to discuss everything that the American company will present to us in relation to it.
