How to do a soft reset on iPhone 7

[iBright]

Is it something I'm missing? I noticed that when I press power button and home button together for long time nothing happens like it did on the previous devices. Did apple change this? Or is there a new setting I have to do with the home button before that would work?

Hold down the power button and volume down button simultaneously until you see the Apple boot logo.

The iPhone 7/7 Plus don’t have mechanical home buttons.

Hold down Power button and volume down button for 10 seconds (or until apple logo shows up)

Thanks. Never thought about that and was even lazy to even google it as well. Thanks for having this family. Haha yeah I got it now.

It’s no problem! Happy to help. It originally took me a minute to figure it out too.

You do it the same way you do it on a Windows Phone - hold down the sleep/wake and volume down buttons until you see the logo reappear.

And that's actually a hard reset. A soft reset is simply the slide to power off.

Does it really matter whether it’s a hard reset or a soft reset? I’m pretty sure everyone knows what OP is talking about.
