So Reachability is a feature for the larger screen iPhones to be able to bring things down from the top so you can reach them when you're holding the phone with one hand. You can also look for things like Reachability. So you may want to go look through these if something is not working for you. Some of the things I've mentioned actually have On/Off switches in here. So if we go into Settings and then General and then Accessibility we can see several things here. Now the absence of the Home button also effects a lot of accessibility features. Press the Done button when you're done deleting apps or moving them around. But notice at the top right corner is a new item there. Now typically to exit this you would press the Home button. So let's tap and hold on an app and I get the wiggle mode with all of the little x's there. You may also wonder if you want to delete an app. Actually you see whatever would be hidden by the notch. Interestingly enough in screen shot the notch at the top of the screen isn't there. You can see the new OS 11 screen shot functionality at the bottom left. So I press both of those and it takes a screen shot. So the way to do a screen shot now is you do the side button and the volume up. How about a screen shot? So for a screen shot, of course, you don't have the Home button so you can't press the side button and the Home button. I'm not sure if that's true with all apps but at least the ones I've tried it's worked. So I have a couple of apps that still think about touch ID but face ID just seamlessly goes in there and works fine to replace it and I can actually authenticate with those apps even though those apps haven't been updated yet. It's also great to see that face ID completely replaces touch ID even in apps that haven't updated. I pressed that twice and then it authenticates with face ID. When I've held up my iPhone X to a pay terminal I get a little indicator next to the side button on the screen that says to press that twice. Now authenticating with Apple Pay works with the side button as well. The side button is actually larger on the iPhone X and it's easy to press and hold that to activate Siri. Well, you can use the side button for that. Now how about Siri because you don't have the Home button for Siri. So you can switch apps pretty easily like that without having to go back to the Home screen. So if I go into an app and I've got that line there at the bottom, called the Home Indicator, I can actually go left or right across the bottom and I can do back and forth between different apps. Now there's another way to switch between apps. If you've got the new leather folio which kind of works like the smart case for the iPad opening that will automatically switch the phone on. Another way to do it is to use the side button. So in addition to the raise to wake feature you can also wake up the phone by simply tapping on the screen. You still have the ability to swipe down from the top either the middle or the left to get Notifications but you can also swipe down from the top right corner to get to Control Center. So that's how you get to the Home button. I can still use the quick swipe up even there even though there's not a little white line there to go Home. Now you can see I've entered the mode where I can switch between apps and I can quit apps. Now if I want to go to the App switcher, the way I do that is I do the swipe up but I pause at the top. So just a little quick swipe up and I get back to the Home screen. It's there to kind of be an indicator of where this swipe happens. Now notice there's a little white bar at the bottom of the screen. If you want to go and say you're in an app and you want to leave the app of course there's no Home button to do that. Just this little quick swipe up right where the Home button used to be. That's the equivalent to pressing the Home button. So a quick, and I mean a really quick little swipe barely moving my thumb up at all, takes me to the Home screen. Now it tell me to swipe to open at the bottom. You can see the padlock at the top unlocks saying that it recognizes my face. I'm going to raise the iPhone and it wakes up. So a lot of things you did with the Home button you now have to do in other ways.
