The iPhone’s design hasn’t changed much over the years, but Apple has modified the function of each button each time. For example, on the iPhone 12 pro max, pressing and holding the side button does not turn off the phone. Instead, it triggers Siri, which awaits your question or commands a split second later.
Meanwhile, while your iPhone doesn’t have an official Power or Off button, it’s still easy to turn off.
