In pre-X models of iPhones, long pressing the Home button used to activate Siri, and long pressing the Sleep/Wake button prompted you to shut down your iPhone altogether. However, in the absence of the Home button in iPhone X, the actions are now re-assigned, and different buttons or a combination of buttons are required to be pressed to initiate the processes or apps.
That said, there are two ways to shut down your iPhone X:
