In previous iPhones, Siri was activated by holding the home button. Recent advancements that made the home button on iPhones disappear has changed the mode of activation. The existence of an infinity display on the iPhone XS, XR, and XS Max killed the existence of the home button, due to the absence of sufficient bottom chin.
