Yes,Sieghard, you are right, but if something is acting strangely, the "hard reset" usually clears it up while just shutting off and turning on the phone doesn't.
No data is lost in either method.

The iPhone has no "reboot" or "restart" function as it is now called in Windows. You can either turn it off completely and back on which essentially is the same thing or you can do the hard reset with the buttons.

It gives the operating system a fresh start without damaging any data. If you have a home button, press and hold both the home button and the power button for about 6 or 8 seconds and the Apple should start to appear, release and within a minute or so, you will be back at the home screen and need to enter your passcode if you have one. If a phone with no home button, tap the volume up then volume down then hold the power side switch for at least 10 seconds. The power off screen will appear but keep holding the side switch until it goes away and then release it. Again, in a minute or so, you will be back at the home screen...
