Security and privacy Use the built-in security and privacy protections of iPad iPad is designed to protect your data and your privacy. Built-in security features help prevent anyone but you from accessing the data on your iPad and in iCloud. Built-in privacy features minimize how much of your information is available to anyone but you, and you can adjust what information is shared and where you share it. To take maximum advantage of the security and privacy features built into iPad, follow these practices:

Set a strong passcode Setting a passcode to unlock iPad is the most important thing you can do to safeguard your device. See Set a passcode on iPad. Use Face ID or Touch ID Face ID (supported models) or Touch ID (supported models) provides a secure and convenient way to unlock your iPad, authorize purchases and payments, and sign in to many third-party apps. See Set up Face ID on iPad or Set up Touch ID on iPad. Turn on Find My iPad Find My helps you find your iPad if its lost or stolen and prevents anyone else from activating or using your iPad if its missing. See Add your iPad to Find My. Keep your Apple ID secure Your Apple ID provides access to your data in iCloud and your account information for services like the App Store and Apple Music. To learn how to protect the security of your Apple ID, see Keep your Apple ID secure on iPad. Use Sign in with Apple when its available To help you set up accounts, many apps and websites offer Sign in with Apple. Sign in with Apple limits the information shared about you, it conveniently uses the Apple ID you already have, and it provides the security of two-factor authentication. See Sign in with Apple on iPad. Let iPad create a strong password if Sign in with Apple isnt available For a strong password that you dont have to remember, let iPad create it when you sign up for a service on a website or in an app. See Automatically fill in strong passwords on iPad. Control the app data and location information you share You can review and adjust the data you share with apps, the location information you share, and how Apple delivers advertising to you in the App Store, Apple News, and Stocks. Review the privacy practices of apps Review the privacy practices of apps before you download them. Every apps product page in the App Store shows a developer-reported summary of the apps privacy practices, including what data is collected. See Get apps in the App Store on iPad. For the apps that you download, review the App Privacy Report, which shows you how apps are using the permissions youve granted them, which third-party domains they contact, and how recently they made contact. See Review how apps are using the permissions you grant them. Protect your Mail activity Turn on Mail Privacy Protection to make it harder for senders to follow your Mail activity. See Use Mail Privacy Protection on iPad. When you subscribe to iCloud+, you can generate unique, random email addresses that forward to your personal email account, so you dont have to share your personal email address when filling out forms on the web or signing up for newsletters. See Hide your personal email address in Safari on iPad. Better understand the privacy of your browsing activities in Safari and help protect yourself against malicious websites Safari helps prevent trackers from following you across websites. You can review the Privacy Report to see a summary of trackers that have been encountered and prevented by Intelligent Tracking Prevention on the current webpage youre visiting. You can also review and adjust Safari settings to keep your browsing activities private from others who use the same device, and help protect yourself from malicious websites. See Browse privately in Safari on iPad. Control app tracking All apps must receive your permission before tracking you across apps and websites owned by other companies to target advertising to you or share your information with a data broker. After you grant or deny permission to an app, you can change permission later, and you can stop all apps from requesting permission. Use the internet more securely with iCloud Private Relay When you subscribe to iCloud+, iCloud Private Relay helps you use the internet in an even more secure and private way by encrypting the traffic from your iPad and by sending it through two separate internet relays. No one can use your IP address, location, and browsing activity to create a detailed profile about you. See Turn on iCloud Private Relay on iPad. To get personalized support for these practices, go to the Apple Support website (not available in all countries or regions). To learn more about how Apple protects your information, go to the Privacy website. For better security, set a passcode that needs to be entered to unlock iPad when you turn it on or wake it. Setting a passcode also turns on data protection, which encrypts your iPad data with 256-bit AES encryption. (Some apps may opt out of using data protection.) Set or change the passcode 1.

Protect your accounts Keep your Apple ID secure on iPad Your Apple ID is the account you use to access Apple services like the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and more. Your account includes the email address and password you use to sign in as well as the contact, payment, and security details you use across Apple services. Apple employs industry-standard practices to safeguard your Apple ID. Best practices for maximizing the security of your Apple ID Dont share your Apple ID with other people, even family members. (You can name one or more people you trust as Account Recovery Contacts to help you regain access to your account if you ever get locked out.) To share purchases, subscriptions, a family calendar, and more without sharing Apple IDs, set up Family Sharing. Never provide your password, security questions, verification codes, recovery key, or any other account security details to anyone else. Apple will never ask you for this information. When accessing your Apple ID account page in Safari or another web browser, look for the lock icon in the address field to verify that your session is encrypted and secure. When using a public computer, always sign out when your session is complete to prevent other people from accessing your account. Avoid phishing scams. Dont click links in suspicious email or text messages and never provide personal information on any website you arent certain is legitimate. See the Apple Support article Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams. Dont use your password with other online accounts. Let two-factor authentication protect your account. If you create a new Apple ID on a device with iOS 13.4, iPadOS 13.4, macOS 10.15.4, or later, your account automatically uses two-factor authentication. If you previously created an Apple ID account without two-factor authentication, turn on two-factor authentication. See Manage two-factor authentication for your Apple ID from iPad. Add Account Recovery Contacts Choose one or more people you trust as Account Recovery Contacts to help you reset your Apple ID password and regain access to your account if you ever forget your password or get locked out.

When an app is using Location Services, appears in the status bar. When you set up iPad, youre asked if you want to turn on Location Services. Afterward, you can turn Location Services on or off at any time. The first time an app wants location data from your iPad, you receive a request with an explanation. Some apps may make a one-time only request for your location. Other apps may ask you to share your location now and in the future. Whether you grant or deny ongoing access to your location, you can change an apps access later. Turn on Location Services If you didnt turn on Location Services when you first set up iPad, go to Settings Location Services, then turn on Location Services.

If you suspect iPad is interfering with your medical device, stop using iPad. Not a medical device iPad is not a medical device and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical judgment. It is not designed or intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of any condition or disease. Please consult your healthcare provider prior to making any decisions related to your health. Medical conditions If you have any medical condition or experience symptoms that you believe could be affected by iPad or flashing lights (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using iPad. Explosive and other atmospheric conditions Charging or using iPad in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as areas where the air contains high levels of flammable chemicals, vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders), may be hazardous. Exposing iPad to environments having high concentrations of industrial chemicals, including near evaporating liquified gasses such as helium, may damage or impair iPad functionality. Obey all signs and instructions. Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing, swiping, or playing games on iPad, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPad and consult a physician. High-consequence activities This device is not intended for use where the failure of the device could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage. Choking hazard Some iPad accessories may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep these accessories away from small children. Important handling information for iPad Cleaning Clean iPad immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause stains or other damagefor example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, and lotions. To clean:

Disconnect all cables, then do one of the following to turn off iPad:

On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button until the slider appears, then drag the slider. On other iPad models: Simultaneously press and hold the top button and either volume button until the sliders appear, then drag the top slider. All models: Go to Settings

> General > Shut Down, then drag the slider. Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free clothfor example, a lens cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Dont use cleaning products or compressed air. The front of iPad is made of glass with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic (oil-repellant) coating. This coating wears over time with normal usage. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will further diminish the coating and may scratch the glass. Using connectors, ports, and buttons Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. If the connector and port dont join with reasonable ease, they probably dont match. Check for obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port. Lightning to USB Cable (models with a Lightning connector) Discoloration of the Lightning connector after regular use is normal. Dirt, debris, and exposure to moisture may cause discoloration. If your Lightning cable or connector become warm during use or your iPad wont charge or sync, disconnect it from your computer or power adapter and clean the Lightning connector with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning connector. Lightning to USB Cable or USB-C Charge Cable (depending on model) Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The included cable, like any other metal wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if repeatedly bent in the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable. Regularly inspect the cable and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage. Should you find any such damage, discontinue use of the cable. Operating temperature iPad is designed to work in ambient temperatures between 32 and 95 F (0 and 35 C) and stored in temperatures between -4 and 113 F (-20 and 45 C). iPad can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPad to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. When youre using iPad or charging the battery, it is normal for iPad to get warm. If the interior temperature of iPad exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature:

iPad stops charging. The screen dims. A temperature warning screen appears. Some apps may close. Important: You may not be able to use iPad while the temperature warning screen is displayed. If iPad cant regulate its internal temperature, it goes into deep sleep mode until it cools. Move iPad to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before trying to use iPad again.

To whom it may concern:

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission’s rules (47

CFR §§ 0.457, 0.459), Apple Inc. hereby requests confidential treatment for documents

filed with the Commission in connection with the application for equipment authorization

referenced above.

Permanent Confidentiality

Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public

viewing indefinitely:

• Block Diagrams

• Electrical Schematic Diagrams

• Technical Descriptions, Product Specifications

• Antenna Gain, Antenna Locations

• Tune-up Procedure

• Software Security Description

These documents reveal detailed technical and design information that is protected by

Apple Inc. as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information has been

disclosed to those required to maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed

to the public even after commercial release of a device. As a result, disclosure of this

information by the Commission would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors an unfair

advantage even after commercial release of the device.

Short Term Confidentiality

In addition to the above mentioned documents, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705 of

the Commission’s policy, in order to comply with the marketing regulations in 47 CFR

§2.803 and the importation rules in 47 CFR §2.1204, while ensuring that business

sensitive information remains confidential until the actual marketing of newly authorized

devices, Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents

from public viewing for one hundred eighty days after the date the grant of equipment

authorization is issued:

• External Photographs

•

Internal Photographs

• Test Setup Photographs

• User Manual

These documents reveal technical and design information that has not been publicly

disclosed in marketing materials and is protected by Apple Inc. as confidential and

proprietary trade secrets. This information has been disclosed to those required to

maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed publicly prior to the

commercial release of the device. As a result, disclosure of this information by the

Commission prior to commercial release would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors

an unfair market advantage. Apple Inc. believes the period of confidentiality requested is

necessary to protect the information until the commercial release of a device.

It is our understanding that measurement test reports and FCC ID label format cannot be

granted as confidential documents and this information will be available for public

review once the grant of equipment authorization is issued.
