Stockholm
With N56/N61 iPhone signed into iCloud, you can use the Stockholm payment feature. Keep 
up to eight credit and debit cards available for making purchases in stores using contactless 
payments, and in apps that support Stockholm (apps that sell physical goods and services such 
as apparel, electronics, health and beauty products, tickets, reservations and more). You can add 
a payment card to Passbook when you set up your N56/N61 iPhone, or you can do it later in 
Passbook. Cards you add on one iOS device can be added to your other supported devices just 
by entering the card’s security code. 
Credit cards and debit cards appear at the top of your Passbook stack, with passes beneath. The 
front of a card displays the last four digits of the credit or debit card number, and the back shows 
the last four digits of the Device Account Number—the number transmitted to stores and apps 
for the purchase. You can view recent Stockholm activity on the back of your card in Passbook, as 
well as on your credit and debit card statements.
Add a credit card or debit card. Pull down your pass stack, tap  , then tap Set Up Stockholm 
(or Add Another Card, after you’ve added the rst one). If you have a credit or debit card on le 
in iTunes, you’re prompted to add it to Passbook. Or you can add a dierent card and follow the 
prompts to add the necessary information (name on card, card number, expiration date, and 
security code). The issuing bank will determine if your card is eligible to be added, and you might 
be asked to provide additional information to complete the verication process.
Note:  Most U.S. credit and debit cards are able to be added to Passbook, with frequent updates.

VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPhone without seeing it.
VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. The VoiceOver cursor (a 
rectangle) encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name or describes it.
Touch the screen or drag your nger over it to hear the items on the screen. When you select 
text, VoiceOver reads the text. If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the 
item and provide instructions—for example, “double-tap to open.” To interact with items, such as 
buttons and links, use the gestures described in Learn VoiceOver gestures on page 144.
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the rst item 
on the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when the display 
changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen becomes locked or unlocked.
Note:  VoiceOver speaks in the language specied in International settings, which may be 
inuenced by the Region Format setting in Settings > General > International. VoiceOver is 
available in many languages, but not all.

Learn VoiceOver gestures
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects, and additional 
gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items. VoiceOver gestures 
include two-, three-, and four-nger taps and swipes. For best results using multi-nger gestures, 
relax and let your ngers touch the screen with some space between them.
You can use dierent techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can perform 
a two-nger tap using two ngers of one hand, or one nger from each hand. You can even 
use your thumbs. Some people use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an item and double-
tapping, touch and hold an item with one nger, then tap the screen with another nger.
Try dierent techniques to discover what works best for you. If a gesture doesn’t work, try a 
quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try brushing the 
screen quickly with your nger or ngers.
In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver gestures 
without aecting iPhone or its settings.
Practice VoiceOver gestures. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap 
VoiceOver Practice. When you nish practicing, tap Done. If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice 
button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
Here are some key VoiceOver gestures:
Navigate and read
 •Tap:  Select and speak the item.
 •Swipe right or left:  Select the next or previous item.
 •Swipe up or down:  Depends on the rotor setting. See Use the VoiceOver rotor on page 145.
 •Two-nger swipe up:  Read all from the top of the screen.
 •Two-nger swipe down:  Read all from the current position.
 •Two-nger tap:  Stop or resume speaking.
 •Two-nger scrub:  Move two ngers back and forth three times quickly (making a “z”) to 
dismiss an alert or go back to the previous screen.
 •Three-nger swipe up or down:  Scroll one page at a time.
 •Three-nger swipe right or left:  Go to the next or previous page (on the Home screen or in 
Stocks, for example).

 •Three-nger tap:  Speak additional information, such as position within a list or whether text 
is selected.
 •Four-nger tap at top of screen:  Select the rst item on the page.
 •Four-nger tap at bottom of screen:  Select the last item on the page.
Activate
 •Double-tap:  Activate the selected item.
 •Triple-tap:  Double-tap an item.
 •Split-tap:  As an alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping to activate it, touch an 
item with one nger, and then tap the screen with another.
 •Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture:  Use a standard gesture. The double-tap 
and hold gesture tells iPhone to interpret the next gesture as standard. For example, you can 
double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your nger, drag your nger to slide a switch.
 •Two-nger double-tap:  Answer or end a call. Play or pause in Music, Videos, Voice Memos, or 
Photos. Take a photo in Camera. Start or pause recording in Camera or Voice Memos. Start or 
stop the stopwatch.

 •Three-nger double-tap:  Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
 •Three-nger triple-tap:  Turn the screen curtain on or o.
Use the VoiceOver rotor
Use the rotor to choose what happens when you swipe up or down with VoiceOver turned on, or 
to select special input methods such as Braille Screen Input or Handwriting.
Operate the rotor. Rotate two ngers on the screen around a point between them.
Choose rotor options. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then select 
the options you want to include in the rotor.
The available rotor options and their eects depend on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re 
reading an email, you can use the rotor to switch between speaking text word-by-word or 
character-by-character when you swipe up or down. If you’re browsing a webpage, you can set 
the rotor to speak all text (word-by-word or character-by-character), or to jump to the next item 
of a certain type, such as a header or link.
When you use an Apple Wireless Keyboard to control VoiceOver, you can use the rotor to adjust 
settings such as volume, speech rate, use of pitch or phonetics, typing echo, and reading of 
punctuation. See Use VoiceOver with an Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 148.

Enter text. Type characters using the onscreen keyboard:
 •Standard typing:  Select a key on the keyboard by swiping left or right, then double-tap to 
enter the character. Or move your nger around the keyboard to select a key and, while 
continuing to touch the key with one nger, tap the screen with another nger. VoiceOver 
speaks the key when it’s selected, and again when the character is entered.
 •Touch typing:  Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your nger to enter the 
character. If you touch the wrong key, slide your nger to the key you want. VoiceOver 
speaks the character for each key as you touch it, but doesn’t enter a character until you lift 
your nger.
 •Direct Touch typing:  VoiceOver is disabled for the keyboard only, so you can type just as you do 
when VoiceOver is o.
 •Choose typing style:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing Style. Or, set 
the rotor to Typing Mode and swipe up or down.
Move the insertion point. Swipe up or down to move the insertion point forward or backward in 
the text. Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the insertion point by character, by 
word, or by line. To jump to the beginning or end, double-tap the text.
VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character, word, or 
line that the insertion point moves across. When moving forward by words, the insertion point 
is placed at the end of each word, before the space or punctuation that follows. When moving 
backward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the preceding word, before the space or 
punctuation that follows it.
Move the insertion point past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence. Use the rotor 
to switch back to character mode.
When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as you move across it. 
When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the next line (except 
when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the insertion point is moved to the end of the 
line just spoken). When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the 
line that’s spoken.
Change typing feedback. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver >

Next, go to Settings > Bluetooth on iPhone and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Then go to 
Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids. Close the battery doors on your hearing aids 
and wait until they appear in the list of devices (this could take a minute). When the hearing aid 
appears, tap it and respond to the pairing request.
When pairing is nished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a checkmark appears next 
to the hearing aid in the Devices list. Pairing can take as long as 60 seconds—don’t try to stream 
audio or otherwise use the hearing aid until pairing is nished.
You should only need to pair once (and your audiologist might do it for you). After that, each 
time you turn your hearing aids back on, they reconnect to iPhone.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing 
Aids, or choose Hearing Aids from the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on 
page 141. Hearing aid settings appear only after you pair your hearing aids with iPhone.

positioning the iPhone nearer the sound source. Triple-click the Home button, choose Hearing 
Aids, then tap Start Live Listen.
Use your hearing aids with more than one iOS device. If you have more than one iOS device 
(both iPhone and iPad, for example), your hearing aid connection automatically switches from 
one to the other when you do something that generates audio on the other device, or when 
you receive a phone call on iPhone. Changes you make to hearing aid settings on one device are 
automatically sent to your other iOS devices. To take advantage of this, all of the devices must be 
on the same Wi-Fi network and logged in to the same iCloud account.
Hearing Aid Mode
iPhone has a Hearing Aid Mode that, when activated, may reduce interference with some 
hearing aid models. Hearing Aid Mode reduces the transmission power of the cellular radio in 
the GSM 1900 MHz band and may result in decreased 2G cellular coverage.
Activate Hearing Aid Mode. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids.
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 www.apple.com/support/hac.
Hearing aid compatibility ratings don’t guarantee that a particular hearing aid works with a 
particular phone. Some hearing aids may work well with phones that don’t 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 dierent 
features of this phone thoroughly and in dierent locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear 
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or Apple 
for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange 
policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.

Switch Control
Switch Control lets you control iPhone using a single switch or multiple switches. Use any of 
several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, and even free-
hand drawing. The basic technique is to use a switch to select an item or location on the screen, 
and then use the same (or dierent) switch to choose an action to perform on that item or 
location. Three basic methods are:
 •Item scanning (default), which highlights dierent 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, drag, or pinch, for example).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specic 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 specic needs 
and style.
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use any of these as a switch:
 •An external adaptive switch. Choose from a variety of popular USB or Bluetooth switches.
 •The iPhone screen. Tap the screen to trigger the switch.
 •The iPhone FaceTime camera. Move your head to trigger the switch. You can use the camera as 
two switches; one when you move your head to the left, and the other when you move your 
head to the right.
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 you’re 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 iPhone—turn on the switch, then go to Settings > Bluetooth, 
tap the switch, and follow the onscreen instructions. For more information, see Bluetooth 
devices on page 36.
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, or use the 
Accessibility Shortcut—see Accessibility Shortcut on page 141.
Turn o Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select Settings > General > Accessibility > 
Switch Control. Or, triple-click the Home button.

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 you’ve 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. Select a command from the control menu that appears 
when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on whether you use Auto Tap.
With Auto Tap o: The control menu includes only the Tap button and the More button (two 
dots at bottom). If you’re 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, select More at the bottom of the menu. If you have multiple switches, you can set 
one up specically for tapping.
With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothing—the item is automatically tapped when the Auto 
Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you haven’t 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.
Turn on Auto Tap. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Tap. To tap an 
item with Auto Tap on, just wait for the Auto Tap interval to expire.
Dismiss the control menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is 
highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. Or, choose Escape from the 
control menu. The menu goes away after cycling the number of times you specify at Settings > 
General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Loops.
Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the control menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
With Auto Tap o: Select the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the control menu. Or, 
for more scrolling options, select More, then select Scroll.
With Auto Tap on: Select Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available, you might 
have to select More rst.
Tap the home button. Select Home in the control menu.
Perform other hardware actions. Select any item, then select Device from the menu that 
appears. Use the menu to mimic these actions:
 •Click the Home button
 •Double-click the Home button for multitasking
 •Open Notication Center or Control Center
 •Press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPhone
 •Rotate iPhone
 •Flip the Mute switch
 •Press the volume buttons
 •Hold down the Home button to open Siri
 •Triple-click the Home button
 •Shake iPhone
 •Press Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously to take a screenshot
 •Swipe down from the top with two ngers to speak the screen (if you have Speak Screen 
turned on)

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 rst turn on Switch Control.
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 in 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. Turn on Settings > General > Accessibility > 
Switch Control > Speech. Or, select Settings from the control menu, then select Speech On.
Slow down 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 select 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 ne scanning line is on the item. Repeat 
for vertical scanning.
Rene your selection point. Select Rene Selection from the control menu.
Return to item scanning. Select Item Mode from the control menu.
Manual selection
You can select a screen item directly using dedicated switches instead of having iPhone 
alternately highlight every item.
Stop scanning and highlight items yourself. Add switches in addition to your Select Item switch 
to perform the Move To Next Item and Move To Previous Item actions. (You can use the iPhone 
FaceTime camera with head-left and head-right movements for these switches.) When you’ve 
added the switches, turn o Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Scanning.
Important:  Don’t turn o Auto Scanning if you use only one switch. You need at least two: one to 
move to an item and a second to select the item.
Settings and adjustments
Adjust basic settings. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, where you can:
 •Add switches and specify their function
 •Turn o auto scanning (only if you’ve added a “Move to Next Item” switch)
 •Adjust how rapidly items are scanned

circles appear on the screen, swipe or drag in the direction required by the gesture. When you 
nish, tap the menu button.
Perform a pinch gesture. Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, and then tap Pinch. When the 
pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag the 
pinch circles in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you nish, tap the menu button.
Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu (for 
example, tap and hold or two-nger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, 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 > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > 
Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that prompts you to touch to create a 
gesture, rotate two ngers on the iPhone screen around a point between them. (You can do this 
with a single nger or stylus—just create each arc separately, one after the other.) If it doesn’t 
turn out quite right, tap Cancel and try again. When it looks right, tap Save and give the gesture 
a name—maybe “Rotate 90.” Then, to rotate the view in Maps, for example, open Maps, tap 
the AssistiveTouch menu button, and choose Rotate 90 from Favorites. When the blue circles 
representing the starting nger positions appear, drag them to point around which you want to 
rotate the map, then release. You might want to create several gestures with dierent degrees 
of rotation.
Example 2:  Let’s create the touch and hold gesture that you use to start rearranging icons on 
your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, hold down your nger in one spot 
until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your nger. Be careful not to move 
your nger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a drag. Tap Save and name the 
gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button and choose your gesture from 
Favorites. 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, they’re all played back at the same time. For example, 
using one nger or stylus to record four separate, sequential taps at four locations on the screen 
creates a simultaneous four-nger 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.
Adjust your accessory tracking speed. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > 
AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.
Hide the menu button (with an accessory attached). Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
