Can I still use my Iphone Xs if the power button doesn't work? (alien.top)

Was doing some arts and crafts and hadn't noticed I still had superglue on my fingers. It's deep into the power button now so I don't think there's much saving it. Luckily it's not held down, the button is stuck open.

The phone is still on, and everything else seems to work fine. I guess I just can't turn off my phone. What if my phone dies. Will I still have a way to turn it back on?

Buy some acetone or nail varnish remover and a small dull needle syringe. Put some in the syringe and apply it around the button gently so that capillary action pulls it into the free space between the button and the phone frame. Work the button after a little bit, then apply more and repeat until the button is free.
