. How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier Use Dual SIM on iPhone You can use Dual SIM with the following:
iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone SE (3rd generation), and iPhone 14 (purchased outside the U.S.) can use one physical SIM and one eSIM. iPhone 13, iPhone SE (3rd generation), and later can use two eSIMs. Note: eSIM isnt available in certain countries or regions. Here are some of the many ways you can use Dual SIM:
Use one number for business and another number for personal calls. Add a local data plan when you travel to another country or region. Have separate voice and data plans. Note: To use two different carriers, your iPhone must be unlocked. See the Apple Support article
. How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier Page 82 of 1,118 Draft iPhone User Guide 8/12/22, 2:01 PM Set up Dual SIM 1. Go to Settings

You may incur roaming charges if Data Roaming is on and youre outside the country or region covered by the carriers network. 4. Choose the default line for voice callstap Default Voice Line, then tap a line. When using Dual SIM, note the following:
Wi-Fi Calling must be turned on for a line to enable that line to receive calls while the other line is in use for a call. If you receive a call on one line while the other is in use for a call, and no Wi-Fi connection is available, iPhone uses the cellular data of the line that is in use for the call to receive the other lines call. Charges may apply. The line that is in use for the call must be permitted for data use in your Cellular Data settings (either as the default line, or as the non-default line with Allow Cellular Data Switching turned on) to receive the other lines call. If you dont turn on Wi-Fi Calling for a line, any incoming phone calls on that line
(including calls from emergency services) go directly to voicemail (if available from your carrier) when the other line is in use; you wont receive missed call notifications. If you set up conditional call forwarding (if available from your carrier) from one line to another when a line is busy or not in service, the calls dont go to voicemail; contact your carrier for setup information. If you make a phone call from another device, such as your Mac, by relaying it through your iPhone with Dual SIM, the call is made using your default voice line. If you start an SMS/MMS Messages conversation using one line, you cant switch the conversation to your other line; you need to delete the conversation and start a new conversation using the other line. Also, you may incur additional charges if you send SMS/MMS attachments on the line thats not selected for cellular data.

. Set up and view your Medical ID Page 868 of 1,118 Draft iPhone User Guide 8/12/22, 2:02 PM Important information about emergency calls on iPhone You can use iPhone to make an emergency call in many locations, provided that cellular service is available, but you shouldnt rely on it for emergencies. Some cellular networks may not accept an emergency call from iPhone if iPhone isnt activated, if iPhone isnt compatible with or configured to operate on a particular cellular network, or (when applicable) if iPhone doesnt have a SIM card or the SIM card is PIN-locked. 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. With CDMA, when an emergency call ends, iPhone enters emergency call mode for a few minutes to allow a callback from emergency services. During this time, data transmission and text messages are blocked. After making an emergency call, certain call features that block or silence incoming calls may be disabled for a short period of time to allow a callback from emergency services. These include Do Not Disturb, Silence Unknown Callers, and Screen Time. On an iPhone with Dual SIM, if you dont turn on Wi-Fi Calling for a line, any incoming phone calls on that line (including calls from emergency services) go directly to voicemail (if available from your carrier) when the other line is in use; you wont receive missed call notifications. If you set up conditional call forwarding (if available from your carrier) from one line to another when a line is busy or not in service, the calls dont go to voicemail; contact your carrier for setup information. Set up and view your Medical ID A Medical ID provides information about you that may be important in an emergency, like allergies, medical conditions, and your emergency contacts.

Manage Crash Detection on iPhone 14 models What is Crash Detection?
If your iPhone 14 detects a severe car crash, it can help connect you to emergency services and notify your emergency contacts. How Crash Detection works When your iPhone detects a severe car crash, it will display an alert and will automatically initiate an emergency phone call after 20 seconds unless you cancel. If you are unresponsive, your iPhone will play an audio message for emergency services, which informs them that youve been in a severe crash and gives them your latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates with an approximate search radius. When a crash is detected, Crash Detection wont override any existing emergency calls placed by other means. Page 871 of 1,118 Draft iPhone User Guide 8/12/22, 2:02 PM Turn Crash Detection on or off Crash Detection is on by default. You can turn off alerts and automatic emergency calls from Apple after a severe car crash in Settings
> Emergency SOS, then turn off Call After Severe Crash. If you have third-party apps registered to detect crashes on your device, they will still be notified. If you have CarPlay or Apple Watch If your iPhone has Crash Detection turned on and is connected to your vehicle through CarPlay, the Crash Detection features (dialing emergency services) will go through your iPhone. If youre wearing your Apple Watch at the time of the event, dialing emergency services will be placed by iPhone but Crash Detection features will be routed through Apple Watch.

. Keep your Apple ID secure on iPhone Make account sign-ins safer and easier For participating websites and apps, there are multiple ways to make sign-in more convenient and secure. Page 1,043 of 1,118 Draft iPhone User Guide 8/12/22, 2:02 PM Sign in with passkeys: Passkeys let you sign in to app and website accounts with Face ID or Touch ID instead of a password. Because a passkey doesnt leave the devices where youre signed in with your Apple ID, and because its specific to the website or app you create it for, its protected from leaks and phishing attempts. And unlike a password, you dont have to create, guard, or remember it. Use Sign in with Apple: You can use your Apple ID instead of creating and remembering user names and passwords for signing in to accounts. Sign in with Apple also provides the security of two-factor authentication, and it limits the information shared about you. Let iPhone create strong passwords: If passkey support or Sign in with Apple isnt available when you sign up for a service, let iPhone automatically create a strong password that you dont have to remember. For all your website and app passwords, there are many other ways to make sign-in safer and easier. Replace weak passwords: If you create any weak or compromised passwords, iPhone automatically identifies them for you to fix. Share passkeys and passwords securely: Use AirDrop to securely share a passkey or password with someone using their iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Use the built-in authenticator for two-factor authentication: For websites and apps that offer two-factor authentication, fill in automatically generated verification codes without relying on SMS messages or additional apps. Easily fill in SMS passcodes: You can automatically fill in one-time passcodes sent from websites and apps to your iPhone. Keep passkeys and passwords up to date on all your devices: iCloud Keychain automatically keeps your credentials up to date across your other devices.

Turn on Mail Privacy Protection to make it harder for senders to learn about your Mail activity. Mail Privacy Protection hides your IP address so senders cant link it to your other online activity or use it to determine your exact location. Mail Privacy Protection also prevents senders from seeing whether youve opened the email they sent you. Hide your personal email address: When you subscribe to iCloud+, Hide My Email allows you to generate unique, random email addresses that forward to your personal email account. You dont have to share your personal email address when filling out forms or signing up for newsletters on the web, or when sending email

Intro to passkeys Based on industry standards for account authentication, passkeys are easier to use than passwords and far more secure. A passkey is a cryptographic entity thats not visible to you, and its used in place of a password. A passkey consists of a key pair, whichcompared to a passwordprofoundly improves security. One key is public, registered with the website or app youre using. The other key is private, held only by your devices. Through the use of powerful, industry-
standard cryptography techniques, this key pair helps ensure a strong, private relationship between your devices and the website or app. A passkey has these additional characteristics and conveniences:
Its always strong and never guessable by a hacker. Its linked only with the website or app it was created for, thereby protecting you from getting tricked into using a passkey to sign in to a fraudulent website or app. Your iPhone stores the passkey in iCloud Keychain, so its available on other devices where youre signed in with your Apple ID (iOS 16 or tvOS 16 required). Its end-to-end encrypted in iCloud Keychain, so no onenot even Applecan read it. The private key never leaves your devices, so it cant be leaked from websites or apps. Theres nothing about it that you have to create, guard, or remember. You can use AirDrop to securely share a passkey with someone else. You can use a passkey on your iPhone to sign in to an account on non-Apple devices. Page 1,060 of 1,118 Draft iPhone User Guide 8/12/22, 2:02 PM Passkeys on iPhone require that you use iCloud Keychain
. If you dont have iCloud Keychain turned on when you try to save a passkey, youll be asked to turn it on. Passkeys also require that two-factor authentication is enabled for your Apple ID. Note: Passkeys are an industry-wide security standard, and many websites and apps are quickly adding passkey support. Save a passkey for an account Depending on the website, browser, or app, saving a passkey to your iPhone and iCloud Keychain usually consists of steps similar to these. 1. On your iPhone, do one of the following:
For a new account: On the account sign-up screen, enter an account name. For an existing account: Sign in with your password, then go to the account management screen. 2. When you see the option to save a passkey for the account, tap Continue. Your passkey is saved.

Page 1,075 of 1,118 Draft iPhone User Guide 8/12/22, 2:02 PM Manage two-factor authentication for your Apple ID from iPhone Two-factor authentication helps prevent others from accessing your Apple ID account, even if they know your Apple ID password. Certain features in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS require the security of two-factor authentication. With two-factor authentication enabled, only you can access your account on a trusted device or the web. When you sign in to a new device for the first time, you need to provide two pieces of informationyour Apple ID password and the six-digit verification code thats automatically sent to your phone number or displayed on your trusted devices. By entering the code, you verify that you trust the new device.Two-factor authentication for Apple ID is available in iOS 9, iPadOS 13, OS X 10.11, or later. 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. See the Apple Support article Availability of two-factor authentication for Apple ID
. For information about how two-factor authentication works, see the Apple Support article Two-factor authentication for Apple ID

You can choose to receive the codes by text message or automated phone call. 4. Tap Next. 5. Enter the verification code sent to your trusted phone number. To send or resend a verification code, tap Didnt get a verification code?
You wont be asked for a verification code again on your iPhone unless you sign out completely, erase your iPhone, sign in to your Apple ID account page in a web browser, or need to change your Apple ID password for security reasons. After you turn on two-factor authentication, you have a two-week period during which you can turn it off. After that period, you cant turn off two-factor authentication. To turn it off, open your confirmation email and click the link to return to your previous security settings. Keep in mind that turning off two-factor authentication makes your account less secure and means you cant use features that require a higher level of security. Note: If you use two-step verification and upgrade to iOS 13 or later, your account might be migrated to use two-factor authentication. See the Apple Support article Two-step
. verification for Apple ID Add another device as a trusted device A trusted device is one that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser.

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.
