With the release of the iPhone X in 2017, Apple made a significant design change by removing the home button. 

This alteration necessitated a new method of navigation for users. Instead of pressing the home button to close apps, users were required to swipe upwards on the screen.

Additionally, when an SOS call is made, the iPhone automatically contacts the local emergency number and shares the user's location with emergency services.

The SOS feature is currently available in select countries such as the US, Canada, and Australia. 

If emergency contacts are added to the device, they receive a text message with the user's location after the emergency call ends.
