SAR Statement:

iPhone has been tested and meets applicable limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. The SAR limit is 1.6 watts per kilogram in countries that set the limit averaged over 1 gram of tissue and 2.0 watts per kilogram in countries that set the limit averaged over 10 grams of tissue. During testing, iPhone radios are set to their highest transmission levels and placed in positions that simulate uses against the head, with no separation, and when worn or carried against the torso of the body, with 5mm separation. To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free option, such as the built-in speakerphone, the supplied headphones, or other similar accessories. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device, including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or certified. Although this device has been tested to determine SAR in each band of operation, not all bands are available in all areas. Bands are dependent on your service providers wireless and roaming networks.

Interaction Switch Control Switch Control overview If you have a motor impairment, Switch Control lets you control iPhone using one or more connected physical switches. Use any of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, pressing, dragging, typing, and even free-hand drawing. You use a switch to select an item or location on the screen, and then use the same (or different) switch to choose an action to perform on that item or location. Three basic methods are:

Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you select one. Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location. Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple switches). Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a menu appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, press, drag, or pinch, for example). If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning screen items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand. You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specific needs and style. Add a switch and turn on Switch Control You can use the following as a switch:

An external adaptive switch: Choose a Bluetooth switch or a Made For iPhone switch that plugs into the lightning port. The iPhone screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch. (Or, on models that support 3D Touch, press the screen.) The iPhone front-facing camera: Use head movements while facing the camera to trigger the switch. Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Switches. If you use only one switch, it is your Select Item switch by default. If youre adding an external switch, you need to connect it to iPhone before it will appear in the list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If it connects using Bluetooth, you need to pair it with iPhoneturn on the switch, go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. For more information, see

. Bluetooth devices Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control. Or,

. use accessibility shortcuts Scan the keyboard. VoiceOver scans the onscreen keyboard row by row, including the suggestions above the keyboard. To control how the keyboard is navigated, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn the settings below Keyboard on or off. Turn off Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select and tap Settings >

General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn off Switch Control. Or,

. accessibility shortcuts use Basic techniques Whether you use item scanning or point scanning, the Switch Control basics are the same. Select an item. While the item is highlighted, trigger the switch youve set up as your Select Item switch. If you are using a single switch, it is your Select Item switch by default. Perform an action on the selected item. Choose a command from the control menu that appears when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on how you configure tap behavior. (To choose an option, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >

Switch Control > Tap Behavior.) With Default on: The control menu usually includes only the Tap button and the More button (two dots at the bottom). If youre in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll button also appears. To tap the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button when Tap is highlighted. To see additional action buttons, choose More at the bottom of the menu. If you have multiple switches, you can set one up specifically for tapping. With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothingthe item is automatically tapped when the Auto Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you havent changed it). To see the control menu, trigger your Select Item button before the Auto Tap interval expires. The control menu skips the Tap button and goes right to the full set of action buttons. With Always Tap on: Tap to select the highlighted item rather than display the control menu. Wait until the end of the scan cycle, then tap a button to display the control menu. Note: Always Tap applies only when you choose item scanning. When point scanning, the default behavior applies. Work with recipes. A recipe lets you temporarily assign a special action to a switch. For example, you can choose a recipe to turn pages in iBooks or control a game. To create, edit, or launch a recipe, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control >

Recipes. Dismiss the Scanner menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. The menu goes away after cycling the number of times you specify in Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Loops. Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the Scanner menu. Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:

With Auto Tap off: Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the Scanner menu. Or, for additional scrolling options, choose More, then choose Scroll. With Auto Tap on: Choose Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available, you might have to choose More first. Tap the Home button. Choose Home from the Scanner menu. Perform other hardware actions. Select any item, then choose Device from the menu that appears. Use the menu to mimic these actions:

Double-click the Home button for multitasking Open the notifications screen or Control Center Press the side or top button to lock iPhone Rotate iPhone to landscape or portrait orientation Flip the Ring/Silent switch Press the volume buttons Press and hold the Home button to summon Siri Triple-click the Home button Shake iPhone Press the Home button and side button (top button on iPhone SE and iPhone 5s) simultaneously to take a screenshot Swipe down from the top with two fingers to speak the screen (if you have Speak Screen turned on) On models that support 3D Touch, replicate 3D Touch to preview the contents of an email message Control media playback. Choose Media Controls from the Scanner menu to play, pause, or go backward or forward. Use Switch Control on another iOS device. Ensure that you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on the other iOS device, then choose the other device from the menu. Item scanning Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the entire screen until you trigger your Select Item switch. If there are many items, Switch Control highlights them in groups. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the group. When you select a unique item, scanning stops and the control menu appears. Item scanning is the default when you first turn on Switch Control. You can choose from three scanning stylesauto scanning, manual scanning, and single-switch step scanning. Auto scanning automatically highlights items, one after the other. With manual scanning, you use one switch to highlight an item and another to activate it. Single-switch step scanning uses a switch to move the highlight from item to item. If you take no action after a period of time, the highlighted item activates. Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the item you want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your Select Item switch. Work your way down the hierarchy of items until you select the individual item you want to control. Back out of a group. Trigger your Select Item switch when the dashed highlight around the group or item appears. Dismiss the control menu without performing an action. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item itself is highlighted. Or choose Escape from the control menu. Hear the names of items as they are highlighted. Go to Settings > General >

Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn on Speech. Or choose Settings from the control menu, then choose Speech On. Slow down or speed up the scanning. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Scanning Time. Point scanning Point scanning lets you select an item on the screen by pinpointing it with scanning crosshairs. Switch to point scanning. Use item scanning to choose Point Mode from the control menu. The vertical crosshair appears when you close the menu. Select an item. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item you want is within the broad, horizontal scanning band, then trigger again when the fine scanning line is on the item. Repeat for vertical scanning. Refine your selection point. Choose Refine Selection from the control menu. Return to item scanning. Choose Item Mode from the control menu. Settings and adjustments Adjust basic settings. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, where you can:

When the corresponding circles appear on the screen, swipe or drag in the direction required by the gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button. Perform a pinch gesture. Tap the menu button, tap Custom, then tap Pinch. When the pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag them in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button. Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu

(for example, touch and hold or two-finger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Custom, then tap an empty gesture placeholder. Or go to Settings > General > Accessibility >

AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. Example 1: To create the rotation gesture, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >

AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that asks you to touch to create a gesture, rotate two fingers on the iPhone screen around a point between them. (You can do this with a single finger or stylusjust create each arc separately, one after the other.) If it doesnt turn out quite right, tap Cancel, then try again. When it looks right, tap Save, then give the gesture a namemaybe Rotate 90. Then, to rotate the view in Maps, for example, open Maps, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, and choose Rotate 90 from Custom. When the blue circles representing the starting finger positions appear, drag them to the point around which you want to rotate the map, then release. You might want to create several gestures with different degrees of rotation. Example 2: Lets create the touch-and-hold gesture that you use to start rearranging icons on your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, touch and hold your finger in one spot until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your finger. Be careful not to move your finger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a drag. Tap Save, then name the gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, then choose your gesture from Custom. When the blue circle representing your touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon and release. If you record a sequence of taps or drags, theyre all played back at the same time. For example, using one finger or a stylus to record four separate, sequential taps at four locations on the screen creates a simultaneous four-finger tap. Exit a menu without performing a gesture. Tap anywhere outside the menu. To return to the previous menu, tap the arrow in the middle of the menu. Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen. Touch Accommodations If you have trouble using the touchscreen or Home button, use Touch Accommodations to change how your device responds to your touch. Choose how long you must touch the screen before a touch is recognized. You can configure iPhone to respond only to touches of a certain duration. Go to Settings >

General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, turn on Hold Duration, then use the Gesture Delay plus and minus buttons to choose a duration (the default is 0.10 seconds). Choose the duration in which multiple touches are treated as a single touch. If you have trouble touching the screen just once, turn on Ignore Repeat. Then, if you touch the screen several times quickly, iPhone treats the touches as one. To change the amount of time between touches before iPhone treats them as one, go to Settings > General >

Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, turn on Ignore Repeat, then use the Gesture Delay plus and minus buttons to adjust the timing. Choose the location where iPhone responds to the first or the last place you touch. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, then choose a Tap Assistance option (Use Initial Touch Location or Use Final Touch Location). When you choose Use Initial Touch Location, iPhone uses the location of your first tap when you tap an app on the Home screen, for example. Choose Use Final Touch Location, and iPhone registers the tap where you lift your finger. iPhone responds to a tap when you lift your finger within a certain period of time. Use the Gesture Delay plus and minus buttons to adjust the timing. Your device can respond to other gestures, such as drags, if you wait longer than the gesture delay. Choose how iPhone responds when you press and hold the Home button. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button, then choose Siri, Voice Control, or Off.

Hearing aid compatibility The FCC has adopted hearing aid compatibility (HAC) rules for digital wireless phones. These rules require certain phones to be tested and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2007 or C63.19-2011 hearing aid compatibility standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:

An M rating for reduced radio frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling with hearing aids that are not operating in telecoil mode A T rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode These ratings are given on a scale from one to four, where four is the most compatible. A phone is considered hearing aid compatible under FCC rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling. For iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings, see the Apple Support article

. Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements for iPhone About Hearing Hearing aid compatibility ratings dont guarantee that a particular hearing aid works with a particular phone. Some hearing aids may work well with phones that dont meet particular ratings. To ensure interoperability between a hearing aid and a phone, try using them together before purchase. This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your carrier or Apple for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your carrier or phone retailer.

These electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device and iPhone and the earbuds. Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for information specific to your medical device. If you suspect iPhone is interfering with your pacemaker, defibrillator, or any other medical device, stop using iPhone. Not a medical device iPhone and the Health app are not designed or intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. Medical conditions If you have any medical condition or experience symptoms that you believe could be affected by iPhone (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using iPhone. Explosive atmospheres Charging or using iPhone 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. Obey all signs and instructions. Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing, swiping, or playing games on iPhone, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPhone 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 iPhone accessories may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep these accessories away from small children. Important handling information Cleaning Clean iPhone 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, or lotions. To clean:

Disconnect all cables and turn off iPhone by pressing and holding the side button

(top button on iPhone SE and iPhone 5s), then dragging the slider. Use a soft, lint-free clothfor example, a lens cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Dont use cleaning products or compressed air. iPhone has 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 iPhone. Exposure to liquid and dust If liquid splashes on iPhone or dust gets on it, wipe it off with a soft, lint-free cloth (for example, a lens cloth) and ensure that your iPhone is dry and free of dust before opening the SIM tray. Minimize exposing iPhone to soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, and any liquidsfor example, salt water, soapy water, pool water, perfume, insect repellent, lotion, sunscreen, oil, adhesive remover, hair dye, and solvents. If iPhone comes into contact with any of these substances, follow the instructions above in the Cleaning section. Supported models are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529. Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Liquid damage not covered under warranty. To prevent liquid damage on iPhone, avoid the following:

Swimming or bathing with iPhone Exposing iPhone to pressurized water or high velocity water, such as when showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing, and so on Using iPhone in a sauna or steam room Intentionally submerging iPhone in water Operating iPhone outside the suggested temperature ranges or in extremely humid conditions Dropping iPhone or subjecting it to other impacts Disassembling iPhone, including removing screws If your iPhone has been exposed to liquid, unplug all cables and do not charge your device until its completely dry. Using accessories or charging when wet may damage your iPhone. Allow at least 5 hours before charging or connecting a Lightning accessory. To dry iPhone, tap it gently against your hand with the Lightning connector facing down to remove excess liquid. Leave the device in a dry area with sufficient airflow. Placing the device in front of a fan blowing cool air directly into the Lightning connector may help the drying process. Do not dry your iPhone using an external heat source or insert a foreign object into the Lightning connector such as a cotton swab or a paper towel. 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 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 iPhone 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. Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The Lightning to USB 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 Lightning to USB Cable. Operating temperature iPhone 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). iPhone can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPhone to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. When youre using iPhone or charging the battery, it is normal for iPhone to get warm. If the interior temperature of iPhone 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:

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

Cellular. Note: For help with cellular network services, voicemail, and billing, contact your wireless service provider. If iPhone is connected to the Internet via the cellular data network, the LTE, 4G, 3G, E, or GPRS icon appears in the status bar. LTE, 4G, and 3G service on GSM cellular networks support simultaneous voice and data communications. For all other cellular connections, you cant use Internet services while youre talking on the phone unless iPhone also has a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. Depending on your network connection, you may not be able to receive calls while iPhone transfers data over the cellular networkwhen downloading a webpage, for example. GSM networks: On an EDGE or GPRS connection, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused. CDMA networks: On EV-DO connections, data transfers are paused when you answer incoming calls. On 1xRTT connections, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused. Data transfer resumes when you end the call. If Cellular Data is off, all data services use only Wi-Fiincluding email, web browsing, push notifications, and other services. If Cellular Data is on, carrier charges may apply. For example, using certain features and services that transfer data, such as Siri and Messages, could result in charges to your data plan. Turn Cellular Data on or off. Go to Settings > Cellular, then tap Cellular Data. The following options may also be available:

Turn Voice Roaming on or off (CDMA): Turn Voice Roaming off to avoid charges from using other carriers networks. When your carriers network isnt available, iPhone wont have cellular (data or voice) service. Turn Data Roaming on or off: Data Roaming permits Internet access over a cellular data network when youre in an area not covered by your carriers network. When youre traveling, you can turn off Data Roaming to avoid roaming charges. Enable or disable 4G/LTE (varies by carrier): Using 4G or LTE loads Internet data faster in some cases but may decrease battery performance. This option is not available in all areas. On iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and later, there are options for turning off 4G/LTE or for selecting Voice & Data (VoLTE) or Data Only. Voice & Data (some carriers): Choose LTE to load data faster. (This also turns on VoLTE.) Choose slower speeds to increase battery life. Set up Personal Hotspot: Personal Hotspot shares the Internet connection on iPhone with your computer and other iOS devices. See Personal Hotspot in this guide. Turn Wi-Fi Assist on or off: If Wi-Fi connectivity is poor, Wi-Fi Assist uses cellular data to boost the signal. Note: Using data over a cellular network may incur additional fees. Set whether cellular data is used for apps and services. Go to Settings > Cellular, then turn cellular data on or off for any app that can use cellular data. If a setting is off, iPhone uses only Wi-Fi for that service. The iTunes setting includes both iTunes Match and automatic downloads from the iTunes Store and the App Store. For more information about GSM, CDMA, and LTE cellular data networks, see the Apple Support article About cellular data networks

For devices imported in bulk and not packaged individually, a removable adhesive label or, for devices in protective bags, a label on the bags is acceptable for this purpose. Any removable label shall be of a type intended to survive normal shipping and handling and must only be removed by the customer after purchase. For devices imported already in individual packages ready for sale, the information may alternatively be provided on the package. It shall contain:

1. The FCC ID and/or the DoC logo (if applicable); and 2. Any other information required by specific rule to be provided on the surface of the product unless such information is permitted to be included in the Users manual or other packaging inserts.

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commissions 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 Apple Inc. 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino, CA www.apple.com v1.1 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 Commissions 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.
