iPhones with Home buttons are turned off by pressing and holding the power button (sometimes referred to as the Side button) until a power-off slider appears. But try doing that on an iPhone XS and you'll trigger Siri instead. This is because on the iPhones that don't have a Home button you can't trigger Siri by pressing the Home button, so Apple moved that functionality moved to the Side button. So, how can you power off your iPhone 12, 11, or earlier?
To switch off your Face ID iPhone you need to remember this combination to button presses:
Press and hold a volume switch.
Now press and hold the Side button.
Your iPhone should now show you the power off slider. You can swipe this to turn off your iPhone.
We often find that if we use the above key combo we end up just making our phone go to sleep, or we take a screen shot, which can be frustrating, so we prefer to follow these steps to shut down our iPhone:
Press the up volume switch.
Press the down volume switch.
Now press and hold the Side button.
Your iPhone should now show you the power off slider. You can swipe this to turn off your iPhone.
To turn the iPhone back on press and hold the Side button again.
