How is it that, in 2024, almost 20 years after the release of the first iPhone, and with the recent release of iOS 18, we still don't have the option to "Reboot" our phones? If you want to restart, you have to turn it off, walk away while it figures it out, then hope you remember to power it back on. Android sorted this out years ago so I can't imagine it's that difficult.

While there is not a software button to restart, you can do it via the physical buttons on your iPhone.

You are not aware that you have been able to force restart the phone for many years? This is done using the buttons, since the screen may not be available at the time.

You can also say "Siri, restart this iPhone", assuming of course that the iPhone is working well enough for Siri to respond.
Because some operating systems have grown up.
The last time I had to reboot my iPhone, outside of an iOS update, was when I had an iPhone 3G.
