Cyber Week 2017 is still upon us. If you're looking for an iPhone X deal, you might still have time to score one. But maybe you already have — a reported six million people purchased the newest iPhone over the Black Friday weekend. If you're one of those lucky millions, there's a slight learning curve to using the X over other iPhone models.After all, you may have noticed a few (ahem) staple iPhone features are missing this time around. It's all screen, there's a fancy new front camera, and most importantly, there's no Home button. To help you get acquainted with your new iPhone X, we're rounded up some of the most important tips and tricks you'll need to become an iPhone X pro in no time.
1. New Swipe GesturesApple removed the Home button on the iPhone X, which means a lot of new actions to learn. Apple has handed over most responsibilities of the Home button to new swipe gestures.

2. New Button ControlsDid you know that the power button, or Sleep/Wake button, on your new iPhone isn't really a power button?

Sure, you can still use it to lock or wake your iPhone, but you can also use it to quickly disable Face ID or to pull up your Wallet or Apple Pay. It's also picked up a little slack from the missing Home button that swipe gestures couldn't take on. Learn everything in the guide below.More info: All the side button combinations you need to know.
