Apple’s 2018 new line of iPhones which includes the XR, XS and XS Max, does not have a Home Screen button. This single change is enough to frustrate many iPhone users. Unfortunately this isn’t the only change that distinguishes the previous iPhone versions with the new ones.

Apart from the removal of a Home Screen, the new iPhones have a bezel-less display. Similarly, the iPhone X series got rid of the traditional Lighting Port, which was in use for nearly 6 years, and replaced it by USB–C.

But these hardware changes do not require iPhone users to shift or alter the ways they used to interact with the iPhones.
