In certain countries or regions, your location information (if determinable) may be accessed by emergency service providers when you make an emergency call. Review your carriers emergency calling information to understand the limits of emergency calling over Wi-Fi.

Draft Security and privacy Use the built-in security and privacy protections of iPhone iPhone is designed to protect your data and your privacy. Built-in security features help prevent anyone but you from accessing the data on your iPhone 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 iPhone, follow these practices:
Set a strong passcode Setting a passcode to unlock iPhone is the most important thing you can do to safeguard your device. See Set a passcode on iPhone. Use Face ID or Touch ID Face ID (supported models) or Touch ID (supported models) provides a secure and convenient way to unlock your iPhone, authorize purchases and payments, and sign in to many third-party apps. See Set up Face ID on iPhone or Set up Touch ID on iPhone. Turn on Find My iPhone Find My helps you find your iPhone if its lost or stolen and prevents anyone else from activating or using your iPhone if its missing. See Add your iPhone 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 iPhone. 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 iPhone. Let iPhone create a strong password if Sign in with Apple isnt available For a strong password that you dont have to remember, let iPhone create it when you sign up for a service on a website or in an app. See Automatically fill in strong passwords on iPhone. Draft 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 iPhone. 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 iPhone. 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 iPhone. 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 iPhone. 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 iPhone 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 iPhone. To get personalized support for these practices, go to the Apple Support website (not available in all countries or regions). Draft To learn more about how Apple protects your information, go to the Privacy website. Protect your iPhone Set a passcode on iPhone For better security, set a passcode that needs to be entered to unlock iPhone when you turn it on or wake it.

Protect your accounts Keep your Apple ID secure on iPhone 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. Draft 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 iPhone. 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.

Two-factor authentication is built into iOS 9, iPadOS 13, OS X 10.11, or later. Certain features in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS require the security of two-factor authentication, which is designed to protect your information. 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, you can turn on its extra layer of security at any time. Note: Certain account types may be ineligible for two-factor authentication at the discretion of Apple. Two-factor authentication isnt available in all countries or regions.

Exposing iPhone to environments having high concentrations of industrial chemicals, including near evaporating liquified gasses such as helium, may damage or impair iPhone functionality. 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. Draft Choking hazard Some iPhone accessories may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep these accessories away from small children. Important handling information for iPhone 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, then do one of the following to turn off iPhone:
On an iPhone with Face ID: Simultaneously press and hold the side button and either volume button until the sliders appear, then drag the top slider. On an iPhone with a Home button: Press and hold the side button or Sleep/Wake button
(depending on your model), then drag the 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. 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 either IP68 or 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. See the Apple Support article About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later. 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 Draft 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 or USB-C to Lightning 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 becomes 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 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 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. Draft 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.

Variant models are covered by the lead model test reports based on OET guidance that was approved as part of the original filings. The same justifications and rationale have been applied to these C2PC applications. Output power is the same or lower as the LTE Band 48 operations originally approved. Time Averaging SAR validation tests (Part 2 Dynamic power assessment) are not required to support equipment certification as the output power and power reduction for band n48 are not as large as 5GNR bands previously tested and therefore the validation is covered by the 5GNR testing in the original filing. Compliance with HAC RF emissions and T-Coil requirements as addressed in the original application cover 5GNR. No additional tests are required to include band n48 as HAC compliant.
