The Apple iPhone 7 comes with a brand new Home button that no longer physically clicks: you might not have even noticed, though, as it still gives a very solid feedback that mimics the feeling of a physical click. Turn off the phone, though, and you will see that the Home button does not actually click, but the 'clicking' sensation actually comes from a clever vibration that comes off from Apple's vibration motor, the 'Taptic Engine', built inside the iPhone 7.


So you might be wondering: with this new button, how does one take a screenshot on the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus?



The screenshot shortcut is in fact the same: you take a screenshot on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus by holding down the power / lock key (the one on the right) and the Home button simultaneously. Keep in mind that you actually have to apply pressure with your finger towards the Home key, so that it is a forceful touch rather than just a light tap.

You will hear the familiar click, the screen will blink white for a moment, and the screenshot will be saved to your camera roll. It's all as simple as that.
