Hello Simon, This is an 8/8+ hardware key sequence.
It could never be an iOS sequence for it is meant to force restart the device should the OS freeze.

Can see this causing issues with SOS if people get it wrong. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of M.

Up until the iPhone 7 ($720.00 at Amazon Marketplace) and 7 Plus ($785.70 at Amazon Marketplace), you could hold the wake/lock (or "side" button) and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appeared. That process changed with the iPhone 7 lineup, when you had to hold the wake/lock and volume down buttons to complete the process. Now Playing: Watch this: iPhone 8 drop test: How tough is the glass? 4:45 If you try the same thing on the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus, however, you'll quickly learn that's how the Emergency SOS feature is triggered. Depending on your settings, your phone may end up playing a loud alarm and calling emergency services when all you wanted to do was restart your device. Apple has published the button sequence (not combination) that restarts the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Here's what you need to do: . Quickly press and release the volume up button. . Quickly press and release the volume down button. . Hold in the wake/lock button until you see the Apple logo. The next time your phone is running a bit slow or is frozen, keep this in mind. It took me a few tries to get it just right, but it indeed works.
