Every refreshment, especially in the terms of design is always a good idea. When we use our devices, we develop certain habits, and the new design will make us change such habits, which is the case with the minimalist button as well. This not only influences the way we use the iPhone, minimalist button influences troubleshooting as well. It is often used for Recovery Mode.

To put your device into Recovery Mode, follow these steps:

Turn off your iPhone, then hold down the home button and plug it into your computer. Keep holding the home button until you see this pic for iOS 7 or later.
