Really short video shows how app switching works on iPhone X

Apple's first iPhone to ditch the home button, the iPhone X will go on pre-order on October 27. Even though it was announced along with two other smartphones – iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, Apple needed a little bit more time to bring it to the masses.

Although Apple revealed some details about the iPhone X, there are many things that haven't been covered during the official presentation of the handset. That's why almost anything related to the iPhone X is a hot subject these days.

If you've been following our news feed, then you might have seen the YouTube video showing the iPhone X in action on Apple's campus. We now have another video recording that shows a specific feature of Apple's upcoming flagship, namely the way the iPhone X switches between apps.

It's a really short video that offers us a much clearer look at the app switching process on the iPhone X, something that Apple hasn't been able to provide us with. So, how exactly you switch between apps on the iPhone X without the home button?

As the video shows, you'll have to swipe up from the bottom then to the side, but you can also swipe from the left or right sides of the phone. The gesture looks very natural and fluid, so there's one feature that you'll be happy to use on the iPhone X if you plan on getting one.
