Chapter 1 iPhone at a Glance 9

Multi-Touch screen

Sleep/Wake

button

A few simple gestures—tap, drag, swipe, and pinch/stretch—are all you need to use iPhone and
its apps.

Buttons

Most of the buttons you use with iPhone are virtual ones on the touchscreen. A few physical
buttons control basic functions, such as turning iPhone on or adjusting the volume.

Sleep/Wake button

When you’re not using iPhone, press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPhone. Locking iPhone puts
the display to sleep, saves the battery, and prevents anything from happening if you touch the

screen. You can still get phone calls, FaceTime calls, text messages, alarms, and notications. You

can also listen to music and adjust the volume.

Sleep/Wake

button

iPhone locks automatically if you don’t touch the screen for a minute or so. To adjust the timing,
go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock.

Turn iPhone on. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Unlock iPhone. Press either the Sleep/Wake or Home button, then drag the slider.

Turn iPhone o. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the slider appears, then drag
the slider.

For additional security, you can require a passcode to unlock iPhone. Go to Settings > Touch ID
& Passcode (iPhone 5s) or Settings > Passcode (other models). See Use a passcode with data

protection on page 37.

Use Siri (iPhone 4s or later) or Voice Control. Press and hold the Home button. See Voice

Control on page 29 and Chapter 4, Siri, on page 41.

On iPhone 5s, you can use the sensor in the Home button to read your ngerprint, instead of

using your passcode or Apple ID password. See Touch ID sensor on page 38.

You can also use the Home button to turn accessibility features on or o. See Accessibility

Shortcut on page 12 7.

Volume controls

When you’re on the phone or listening to songs, movies, or other media, the buttons on the side
of iPhone adjust the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the volume for the ringer,

alerts, and other sound eects.

information on page 151.

Volume
up

Volume
down

Lock the ringer and alert volumes. Go to Settings > Sounds and turn o “Change with Buttons.”

To limit the volume for music and videos, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit.

Note: In some European Union (EU) countries, iPhone may warn that you’re setting the volume
above the EU recommended level for hearing safety. To increase the volume beyond this level,

you may need to briey release the volume control. To limit the maximum headset volume

to this level, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit and turn on EU Volume Limit. To prevent
changes to the volume limit, go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

You can also use either volume button to take a picture or record a video. See Take photos and

videos on page 79.

WARNING: To avoid injury, read Important safety information on page 151 before using iPhone.

Install the SIM card

If you were given a SIM card to install, install it before setting up iPhone.

Important: A Micro-SIM card (iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s) or a Nano-SIM card (iPhone 5 or later) is

required in order to use cellular services when connecting to GSM networks and some CDMA
networks. An iPhone 4s or later that’s been activated on a CDMA wireless network may also use
a SIM card for connecting to a GSM network, primarily for international roaming. Your iPhone is
subject to your wireless service provider’s policies, which may include restrictions on switching
service providers and roaming, even after conclusion of any required minimum service contract.
Contact your wireless service provider for more details. Availability of cellular capabilities
depends on the wireless network.

help deter theft. See Find My iPhone on page 39.

Some carriers let you unlock iPhone for use with their network. To see if your carrier oers this

option, see support.apple.com/kb/HT1937. Contact your carrier for authorization and setup
information. You need to connect iPhone to iTunes to complete the process. Additional fees may
apply. For more information, see support.apple.com/kb/HT5014.

computer, using iTunes. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.

To use iPhone with your computer, you need:

•

An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)

•

A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:

•

OS X version 10.6.8 or later

•

Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service
Pack 3 or later

Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin
to USB Cable (iPhone 4s or earlier) provided with iPhone. You’ll be asked on each device to verify

“trust” of the other device.

Connect to Wi-Fi

Adjust the settings for a Wi-Fi network: Tap next to a network. You can set an HTTP proxy,

dene static network settings, turn on BootP, or renew the settings provided by a DHCP server.

Chapter 2 Getting Started 15

Set up your own Wi-Fi network. If you have an uncongured AirPort base station turned on

and within range, you can use iPhone to set it up. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look for “Set up an
AirPort base station.” Tap your base station and the Setup Assistant will do the rest.

Manage an AirPort network. If iPhone is connected to an AirPort base station, go to Settings >
Wi-Fi, tap next to the network name, then tap Manage this Network. If you haven’t yet
downloaded AirPort Utility, tap OK to open the App Store and download it.

Connect to the Internet

iPhone connects to the Internet whenever necessary, using a Wi-Fi connection (if available) or
your carrier’s cellular network. For information about connecting to a Wi-Fi network, see Connect

to Wi-Fi, above.

When an app needs to use the Internet, iPhone does the following, in order:

•

Connects over the most recently used available Wi-Fi network

•

Shows a list of Wi-Fi networks in range, and connects using the one you choose

•

Connects over the cellular data network, if available

Note: If a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet isn’t available, apps and services may transfer data
over your carrier’s cellular network, which may result in additional fees. Contact your carrier
for information about your cellular data plan rates. To manage cellular data usage, see Cellular

settings on page 157.

Set up mail and other accounts

iPhone works with iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based
mail, contacts, and calendar service providers.

You can set up a free iCloud account when you rst set up iPhone, or later in Settings. See

iCloud on page 17.

Set up an account. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account. If you’re setting up
an iCloud account, you can also do that in Settings > iCloud.

You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account, if your company or organization
supports it. See Add contacts on page 115 .

You can add calendars using a CalDAV calendar account, and you can subscribe to iCalendar (.ics)
calendars or import them from Mail. See Use multiple calendars on page 71.

Apple ID

An Apple ID is the login you use for just about everything you do with Apple, including using
iCloud to store your content, downloading apps from the App Store, and buying songs, movies,
and TV shows from the iTunes Store.

You need only one Apple ID for everything you do with Apple. If you have an Apple ID, use it

when you rst set up iPhone, and whenever you need to sign in to use an Apple service. If you

don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one when you’re asked to sign in.

Create an Apple ID. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and tap Sign In. (If you’re already

signed in and want to create another Apple ID, rst tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.)

For more information, see appleid.apple.com.

Chapter 2 Getting Started 16

Manage content on your iOS devices

You can transfer information and les between your iOS devices and computers, using iCloud

or iTunes.

•

iCloud stores content such as music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more, and
wirelessly pushes it to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to date.
See iCloud below.

•

iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more, between your computer and iPhone. Changes
you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to

sync les and documents. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.

You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use iCloud
to automatically send the photos you take on iPhone to your other devices, and use iTunes to
sync photo albums from your computer to iPhone.

Important: To avoid duplicates, keep contacts, calendars, and notes in sync using iCloud or

iTunes, but not both.

You can also manually manage content from iTunes, in the device’s Summary pane. This lets you
add songs and videos, by choosing a song, video, or playlist from your iTunes library and then
dragging it to your iPhone in iTunes. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than

can t on your device.

iCloud

iCloud stores your content, including music, photos, contacts, calendars, and supported
documents. Content stored in iCloud is pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and
computers set up with the same iCloud account.

iCloud is available on devices with iOS 5 or later, on Mac computers with OS X Lion v10.7.2
or later, and on PCs with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows 7 or Windows 8
is required).

Note: iCloud may not be available in all areas, and iCloud features may vary by area. For more
information, see www.apple.com/icloud.

iCloud features include:

•

iTunes in the Cloud—Download previous iTunes Store music and video purchases to iPhone
for free, anytime. With an iTunes Match subscription, all your music—including music you’ve
imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes Store—appears on all of your
devices and can be downloaded and played, on demand. See iTunes Match on page 65.

•

Apps and Books—Download previous App Store and iBooks Store purchases to iPhone for
free, anytime.

•

Photos—Use My Photo Stream to push photos you take with your iPhone to your other
devices, automatically. Use iCloud Photo Sharing to share photos and videos with just the
people you choose, and let them add photos, videos, and comments. See iCloud Photo

Sharing on page 74 and My Photo Stream on page 75.

•

Documents in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date
across all your devices.

•

Mail, Contacts, Calendars—Keep your mail contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date
across all your devices.

Chapter 2 Getting Started 17

•

Backup—Back up iPhone to iCloud automatically when connected to power and Wi-Fi.
All iCloud data and backups sent over the Internet are encrypted. See Back up iPhone on
page 156 .

•

Find My iPhone—Locate your iPhone on a map, display a message, play a sound, lock the
screen, or remotely wipe the data. Find My iPhone includes Activation Lock, which requires

your Apple ID and password in order to turn o Find My iPhone or erase your device. Your

Apple ID and password are also required before anyone can reactivate your iPhone. See Find

My iPhone on page 39.

•

iCloud Tabs—See the webpages you have open on your other iOS devices and OS X
computers. See Share what you discover on page 57.

•

iCloud Keychain—Keep your passwords and credit card information up to date across all your
designated devices. See iCloud Keychain on page 38.

•

Find My Friends—Share your location with people who are important to you. Download the
free app from the App Store.

With iCloud, you get a free email account and 5 GB of storage for your mail, documents, and
backups. Your purchased music, apps, TV shows, and books, as well as your photo streams, don’t
count against your available space.

Sign in or create an iCloud account, and set iCloud options. Go to Settings > iCloud.

Purchase additional iCloud storage. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Buy

More Storage or Change Storage Plan. For information about purchasing iCloud storage, see

help.apple.com/icloud.

View and download previous purchases.

•

iTunes Store purchases: You can access your purchased songs and videos in the Music and
Videos apps. Or, in iTunes Store, tap More, then tap Purchased.

•

App Store purchases: Go to App Store, tap Updates, then tap Purchased.

•

iBooks Store purchases: Go to iBooks, tap Store, then tap Purchased.

Turn on Automatic Downloads for music, apps, or books. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores.

For more information about iCloud, see www.apple.com/icloud. For support information, see

www.apple.com/support/icloud.

Sync with iTunes

Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPhone, and vice versa. You can
sync by connecting iPhone to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly with

Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer

Connect iPhone to your computer, select it in iTunes, and set options in the dierent panes.

•

In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPhone when it’s attached to
your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or
Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPhone appear in the iTunes window.

•

In the Summary pane, select “Encrypt iPhone backup” if you want to encrypt the information

stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a
lock icon , and a password is required in order to restore the backup. If you don’t select this
option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and
you’ll have to reenter them if you use the backup to restore iPhone.

•

In the Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your

computer to iPhone. Changes you make to a mail account on iPhone don’t aect the account

on your computer.

•

In the Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you replace the information on
iPhone with the information from your computer during the next sync.

•

In the Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.

If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, don’t also sync them to
iPhone using iTunes.

Date & Time, then turn Set Automatically on or o. If you set iPhone to update the time

automatically, it gets the correct time over the cellular network and updates it for the time zone
you’re in. Some carriers don’t support network time, so in some areas iPhone may not be able
to automatically determine the local time.

Set the date and time manually. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn o
Set Automatically.

Set whether iPhone shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time. Go to Settings > General >

Security

Security features help protect the information on your iPhone from being accessed by others.

Use a passcode with data protection

For better security, you can set a passcode that must be entered each time you turn on or wake
up iPhone.

Set a passcode. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone 5s) or Settings > Passcode (other
models), and set a 4-digit passcode.

Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail
messages and attachments stored on iPhone, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may
also use data protection.)

Increase security. Turn o Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s

a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPhone using
the numeric keypad, create a passcode using numbers only.

Add ngerprints and set options for the Touch ID sensor. (iPhone 5s) Go to Settings > Touch ID
& Passcode. See Touch ID sensor, below.

Allow access to features when iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode
(iPhone 5s) or Settings > Passcode (other models). Optional features include:

•

Voice Dial

•

Siri (if enabled, see Siri settings on page 43)

•

Passbook (see Chapter 24, Passbook, on page 10 6)

•

Reply with Message (see When someone calls on page 45)

Allow access to Control Center when iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Control Center. See

Control Center on page 30.

Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone 5s)
or Settings > Passcode (other models), then tap Erase Data. After ten failed passcode attempts, all
settings are reset, and all your information and media are erased by removing the encryption key
to the data.

If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPhone software. See Restore iPhone on
page 157.

Chapter 3 Basics 37

Touch ID sensor

On iPhone 5s, you can use a ngerprint instead of your passcode or Apple ID password to unlock

iPhone or make purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store.

Set up the Touch ID sensor. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. Set whether you want to use

a ngerprint to unlock iPhone, and to make iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store purchases.

Tap Add a Fingerprint and follow the onscreen instructions. You can add more than one

ngerprint (your thumb and forenger, for example, or one for your spouse).

Delete a ngerprint. Tap the ngerprint, then tap Delete Fingerprint. If you have more than one
ngerprint, touch the Home button to nd out which ngerprint it is.

Name a ngerprint. Tap the ngerprint, then enter a name, such as “Thumb.”

Use the Touch ID sensor to unlock iPhone or make a purchase. Touch the Home button with

a nger you’ve added in Settings. You can unlock iPhone from either the Lock screen or the

Passcode screen. When purchasing from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store, follow the

prompts to enable purchases with your ngerprint. Or go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and

turn on iTunes & App Store.

Note: If you turn iPhone o, you’ll be asked to conrm your passcode when you turn iPhone
back on and unlock it the rst time, and you’ll be asked for your Apple ID password for the rst

purchase you make.

iCloud Keychain

iCloud Keychain keeps your website user names and passwords, and credit card information that
you set up with Safari, up to date on iPhone and your other designated iOS devices and Macs
running OS X Mavericks.

iCloud Keychain works with Safari Password Generator and AutoFill. When you’re setting up a
new account, Safari Password Generator suggests unique, hard-to-guess passwords. You can use
AutoFill to have iPhone enter your user name and password info, making login easy. See Fill in

forms on page 57.

Note: Some websites do not support AutoFill.

iCloud Keychain works on all your approved iOS 7 devices and Macs running OS X Mavericks.
iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and
cannot be read by Apple.

Set up iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain. Turn on iCloud Keychain and
follow the onscreen instructions. If you’ve set up iCloud Keychain on other devices, you need to
approve use of iCloud Keychain from one of those devices, or use your iCloud Security Code.

Important: If you forget your iCloud Security Code, you’ll have to start over and set up your

iCloud Keychain again.

Set up AutoFill. Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill. Make sure Names and Passwords,
and Credit Cards, are turned on (they’re on by default). To add credit card info, tap Saved
Credit Cards.

The security code for your credit card is not saved—you have to enter that manually.

To automatically ll in names, passwords, or credit card info on sites that support it, tap a text
eld, then tap AutoFill.

To protect your personal information, set a passcode if you turn on iCloud Keychain and AutoFill.
