Apple’s new iPhone 7 models introduce a new solid-state (non-mechanical) Home button, which means it no longer physically depresses but is instead a software-driven sensor. That necessitates a new physical button sequence to hard-reset the device if it stops responding; that happens to be holding the Volume Down and Wake buttons for five seconds.
