The edge-to-edge display looks gorgeous on iPhone X without the Home button taking up a lot of space like it did on iPhone 8\/8 plus. But it comes with certain compromises. We used to do a lot of things with the Home button. Now with it gone, Apple has to come up with a new way to perform certain tasks that we used to do with the Home button, like entering DFU mode. On iPhone X DFU mode still works but you have to enter it in a slightly different way. And as for the iPhone 8 and 8 plus, the Home button on them are also different than the old one because you can\u2019t actually press them down. They are now capacitive like on the iPhone 7 and 7 plus. So entering DFU mode on iPhone 8 and 8 plus is also a little tricky, too. And the iPhone DFU mode is useful when your iPhone is not stable and acts up all the time. You can use DFU mode to restore your iPhone X to factory settings and set it up as new. It\u2019s not the most ideal solution to problems like that but at least it\u2019ll work most of the time. Here\u2019s how to enter the iPhone X DFU mode, and as is mentioned before, you can also use the same method to enter DFU mode on iPhone 8.<\/p>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-dark\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#part1\"><b>iPhone X DFU Mode: How to enter it without a Home button?  <\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part2\"><b>How to Recover Data from iPhone X After Restoring It to Factory Settings? <\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part1\"><b>iPhone X DFU Mode: How to enter it without a Home button?  <\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Please note that using DFU mode to restore your iPhone in iTunes will delete all data on your iPhone, so before you start, remember to back it up with iTunes or iCloud first.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type:disc\" class=\"pl40\">\n<li>Step 1.
