They removed physical buttons and access to batteries and now I can't do shit when an app freezes (other than attempting to turn it off, but even then the "turn off?" Can't pop up)
Why do we love do design things like shit so much? It seems that every fist world struggle I ever had was due to bad design
Never get this point, if your phone froze and the screen is not responding, how another physical button would have solved the thing ?
And let's be honest, there is still a combination of key to hard restart any phone.
Because back in the olden days you could just hold down the physical power button to force a phone to shut down, same as you can do on computers still. This bypasses the frozen software and forces the phone to shut down so you can reboot it.
You can still absolutely do it
iPhone X and later: Click Volume Up, then Down, then hold the Power Button for 10-15 seconds
Android Devices: Hold Volume Down + Power for around 7-15 seconds
