Hi,
Since this applies to a forced restart one would hope that a user would have
to do this less often than a normal reboot anyway (smile). So far normal
reboots are done much as they've always been even on iPhone x's. If I'm
wrong on that particular iteration I'm sure someone else will jump in and
clarify.

Subject: RE: How to Force Restart iPhone X
I really have to say that Apple seems to be forgetting the importance of
keeping things as simple as possible. I know these are smart devices and I
truly love everything I can do with my iPhone but needing a 4-line
description of the steps required to reboot an iPhone X seems a bit much. I
suspect with all those required hoops to jump through, users won't be
rebooting their iPhones very often.

Subject: How to Force Restart iPhone X
OS X Daily - Friday, November 17, 2017 at 11:41 AM How to Force Restart
iPhone X
If you need to force restart an iPhone X you will need to learn a new
method, because Apple has changed how you force reboot iPhone X compared to
prior iPhone models. This is partially because the iPhone X no longer has a
Home button, so the longstanding method of forced rebooting is no longer
possible with iPhone X.
Now with iPhone X, you will force restart the device by using a series of
button presses instead. This tutorial will detail exactly how you can
initiate a forced restart, sometimes called a hard reboot, of iPhone X.
The sequence is a little strange at first mostly because it s different,
breaking the habit you may have developed with force rebooting earlier iOS
devices, but once you get the hang of it you will be able to force restart
iPhone X almost as quickly as you could earlier devices. You ll also need to
be sure you press the buttons in the proper order as described, otherwise
the iPhone X will not force restart.
How to Force Reboot iPhone X
You must press the buttons in sequential order for iPhone X to force
restart, the first two buttons are pressed and then released, and the final
button is held until the force reboot occurs. Here s how it works:
1. Press Volume Up, then release
2. Press Volume Down, then release
3. Press and hold the Power / Lock button on the right side of iPhone X
4. Continue to hold the Power / Lock / Side button until the ? Apple logo
appears on screen of iPhone X
It may feel like it takes a while to see the ? Apple logo appear on screen,
but once you do see it you will know you have successfully forced the iPhone
X to restart.
Remember, you must follow the proper order of pressing the buttons to force
reboot iPhone X, if it fails then just start over and try again.
If you try and press the buttons concurrently you ll likely either take a
screenshot on iPhone X or initiate the Emergency Calling feature, neither of
which you are likely trying to do if you simply want to force the iPhone to
restart. The proper way is: Up, Down, hold Power.
This is yet another evolving change in the iOS world, but it turns out that
force restarting iPhone X with the new button sequence is actually also how
you force reboot an iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, though it is different from
force restarting iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which is also different from
forcibly rebooting iPhone 6s, 6, 5, 4, and iPad models with clickable Home
buttons. With the steps changing on several occasions, perhaps we ll see
another change with forced restarts on iOS devices down the road, time will
tell.
Oh and by the way, you can also preform a regular reboot of iPhone X by
simply turning it off and back on again. You can do that with the
Power/Volume button press, or with the method that works on all modern iOS
versions by turning off the iPhone or iPad via Settings, without using the
Power button and then simply turning it back on again.
