I was quite excited yesterday when Apple unveiled their most revolutionary new product<\/strong> since the first iPhone over 10 years ago. After a while though I started to think about that gorgeous new full screen design without, the home screen button<\/strong> that has been ever present since Steve Jobs first showed the world what pockets were capable of carrying around.<\/p>\n

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. SCREENSHOTS<\/strong> I thought, how the hell am I going to take screenshots without a home button?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screenshots are great. Whether you\u2019re reporting a bug in an app, zooming in on a friends face and capturing it to share in a group message or just trying to capture an image from one of your favorite videos,\u00a0being able to take screenshots is an essential part of the modern smartphone experience<\/strong>. It is a good job then that isn\u2019t that complicated to do on the new iPhone X. It is different, however, so let me walk you through it.<\/p>\n

How to take a screenshot on the iPhone X<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Have everything on the screen that you want to capture.<\/li>\n
  2. Hold the side button<\/strong> on the right hand side of the iPhone X.<\/li>\n
  3. Click the volume up button<\/strong> at the same time.<\/li>\n
  4. Marvel in the moment you\u2019ve just captured. You\u2019ll know it has worked because you\u2019ll get the same white flash and shutter sound<\/strong> if you\u2019ve done it properly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The only real change then is the volume up key replacing the home button.<\/strong> Physical buttons are still necessary but this new direction that the iPhone X is taking us in probably means their days are numbered. It shouldn\u2019t be too long before you simply have to say “Take a screenshot<\/strong>” and then after that simply think it.<\/p>\n

    Edit: Since publishing, I can now confirm that thinking \u201cTake a screenshot\u201d does not work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
