The biggest difference between the iPhone X and all other iPhone models is the swipe gestures that are used across iOS.

Tips and tricks on switching apps on iPhone X
- When in an app, swipe left and right to at the bottom of the screen (near the Home indicator) to switch apps without pulling up the multitasker
