What you need

To use iPhone, you need:
ÂÂ A wireless service plan with a carrier that provides iPhone service in your area
ÂÂ An Apple ID (for some features), which can be created during setup
ÂÂ A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:

ÂÂ iTunes 10.5 or later (for some features), available at www.itunes.com/download

Installing the SIM card

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

Important:  A SIM card is required to use cellular services when connecting to GSM networks and
some CDMA networks. An iPhone 4S that has 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.

aligned and the SIM card on top, carefully replace the tray.

Setup and activation

To set up and activate iPhone, turn on iPhone and follow the Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant
steps you through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or
creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, turning on recommended features such as Location
Services and Find My iPhone, and activating iPhone with your carrier. You can also restore from an
iCloud or iTunes backup during setup.

Activation can be done over a Wi-Fi network or, with iPhone 4S, over your carrier’s cellular network
(not available in all areas). If neither option is available, you need to connect iPhone to your
computer for activation.

Connecting iPhone to your computer

If you don’t have Wi-Fi or cellular access, you may need to connect iPhone to your computer in
order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync information,
music, and other content with iTunes. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 18.
Connect iPhone to your computer:  Use the Dock Connector to USB Cable provided with iPhone.

Connecting 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 “Wi-Fi” on
page 158.

Note:  If a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet isn’t available, certain iPhone features 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
“Network” on page 163.

Chapter 2    Getting Started 15

 Setting 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.

If you don’t already have a mail account, you can set up a free iCloud account when you first set
up iPhone, or later in Settings > iCloud. See “iCloud” on page 16.
Set up an iCloud account:  Go to Settings > iCloud.
Set up some other account:  Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account, if your company or organization
supports it. See “Syncing contacts” on page 123.

You can add a CalDAV calendar account, and you can subscribe to iCal (.ics) calendars or import
them from Mail. See “Subscribing to calendars” on page 87.

Managing content on your iOS devices

You can transfer information and files between your iOS devices and computers using either
iCloud or iTunes.
ÂÂ iCloud stores content such as music, photos, and more, and wirelessly pushes it to your other
iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to date. See “iCloud” below.
ÂÂ 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 copy
a file to iPhone for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPhone to your
computer. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 18.

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

Note:  You should not sync items on the Info pane of iTunes (such as contacts, calendars, and
notes) and also use iCloud to keep that information up to date on your devices. Otherwise,
duplicated data may result.

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 iOS 5 devices, on Macs running OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later, and on PCs with
the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).

iCloud features include:

ÂÂ iTunes in the Cloud—Download previous iTunes music and TV show purchases to iPhone for
free, anytime you like.
ÂÂ Apps and Books—Download previous App Store and iBookstore purchases to iPhone for free,
anytime you like.
ÂÂ Photo Stream—Photos you take on one device appear automatically on all your devices. See
“Photo Stream” on page 94.
ÂÂ Documents in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date
across all your devices.

16 Chapter 2    Getting Started

ÂÂ Mail, Contacts, Calendars—Keep your mail contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date
across all your devices.
ÂÂ Backup—Back up iPhone to iCloud automatically when connected to power and Wi-Fi. See
“Backing up iPhone” on page 173.
ÂÂ Find My iPhone—Locate your iPhone on a map, display a message, play a sound, lock the screen,
or remotely wipe the data. See “Find My iPhone” on page 37.
ÂÂ Find My Friends—Share your location with people who are important to you. Download the free
app from the App Store.
ÂÂ iTunes Match—With an iTunes Match subscription, all your music, including music you’ve
imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes, appears on all of your devices
and can be downloaded and played on demand. See “iTunes Match” on page 79.

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 Stream, don’t
count against your free space.

If you have a MobileMe subscription, you can move it to iCloud from a Mac or PC at
www.me.com/move until June 30, 2012.

Note:  iCloud is not available in all areas, and iCloud features may vary by area.

 Syncing with iTunes
Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPhone, and vice versa. You can
sync by connecting iPhone to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or you
can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, photos, video,
podcasts, apps, and more. For information about syncing iPhone with a computer, open iTunes,
then select iTunes Help from the Help menu.
Set up wireless iTunes syncing:  Connect iPhone to your computer using the Dock Connector to
USB Cable. In iTunes, turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection” in the device’s Summary pane.

When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPhone syncs automatically every day. iPhone must be
connected to a power source, both iPhone and your computer must be on the same wireless
network, and iTunes must be open on your computer. For more information, see “iTunes Wi-Fi
Sync” on page 164.

Tips for syncing with iTunes

ÂÂ If you’re using iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync
them to your device using iTunes.
ÂÂ Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPhone are synced back to your
iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on
your computer, and then sync them to iPhone.
ÂÂ In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync your device 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 your iPhone appear in the sidebar.
ÂÂ In the device’s 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 to restore the backup. If you don’t select
this option, passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and will
have to be reentered if you use the backup to restore the device.
ÂÂ In the device’s Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from
your computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone don’t affect the
account on your computer.
ÂÂ In the device’s Info pane, click Advanced to select options to let you replace the information on
iPhone with the information from your computer during the next sync.
ÂÂ If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, your place in the story is included if you sync the
content with iTunes. If you started listening to the story on iPhone, you can pick up where you
left off using iTunes on your computer—or vice versa.
ÂÂ In the device’s Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.

 Cleaning iPhone
Clean iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with any contaminants that may cause stains,
such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, or lotions. To clean iPhone, disconnect all cables and
turn off iPhone (press and hold the On/Off button, then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a soft,
slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners,
household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to
clean iPhone. The front cover of iPhone 3GS and the front and back covers of iPhone 4S and
iPhone 4 are made of glass and have an oleophobic coating. To clean these surfaces, simply
wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with
normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and
may scratch the glass.

4
What is Siri?
Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by talking. Siri
understands natural speech, so you don’t have to learn specific commands or remember keywords.
You can ask things in different ways. For example, you can say “Set the alarm for 6:30 a.m.” or “Wake
me at 6:30 in the morning.” Either way, Siri gets it.

Siri lets you write and send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, get directions, set a
reminder, search the web—and much much more!—simply by talking naturally. Siri understands
what you say and knows what you mean. Siri speaks back to let you know what it heard you
say, and asks a question if it needs clarification or more information. It’s very much like having a
conversation with a person.

For example, ask “Any good burger joints around here?” and Siri may reply “I found a number of
burger restaurants near you.” If you say “Hmm. How about tacos,” Siri remembers that you just
asked about restaurants and then looks for Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood.

In addition to the internal processing power of iPhone, Siri uses Apple’s data centers to
understand what you say and quickly return a response. Siri also uses information from your
contacts, music library, calendars, reminders, and so forth to know what you’re talking about.

Siri works with most of the built-in apps on iPhone 4S, and is smart enough to figure out which
app to use for a request. Siri also uses Search and Location Services to help you with your requests.

There’s so many things you can say to Siri! Here’s a few more examples, for starters:
ÂÂ Call Joe
ÂÂ Set the timer for 30 minutes
ÂÂ How far to the nearest Apple store?
ÂÂ Is it going to rain tomorrow?

Note:  Siri is available only on iPhone 4S, and it requires Internet access via a cellular or Wi-Fi
connection. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area.
Cellular data charges may apply.

 Using Siri
Starting Siri
Siri comes to life with the press of a button.
Start Siri: Press the Home button until Siri appears.

You’ll hear two quick beeps and see “What can I help you with?” on the screen.

Just begin speaking. The microphone icon lights up to let you know that Siri hears you talking.
Once you’ve started a dialogue with Siri, tap the microphone icon to talk to it again.

Siri waits for you to stop talking, but you can also tap the microphone icon to tell Siri you’re done.
This is useful when there’s a lot of background noise. It can also speed up your conversation with
Siri, since Siri won’t have to wait for your pause.

When you finish speaking, Siri displays what it heard and provides a response. Siri often includes
additional, related info that might be useful. If the info is related to an app—for example, a text
message you’ve composed, or a location you asked for—just tap the display to open the app for
details and further action.

What Siri heard you say

Siri’s response

Related info—tap to
open the app.

Tap to speak to Siri.

Siri may ask you if it needs more information to complete a request. For example, tell Siri to
“Remind me to call mom,” and Siri may ask “What time would you like me to remind you?” Don’t
worry about telling Siri everything at once. Siri prompts you for the details it needs.

You can start talking to Siri just by bringing iPhone to your ear, like making a phone call. If the
screen isn’t on—first press the On/Off or Home button. You’ll hear two quick beeps to indicate Siri
is listening. Then start talking.

40 Chapter 4    Siri
If Siri doesn’t respond when you bring iPhone to your ear, start with the screen facing you, so your
hand rotates on the way up.

Cancel a request Say “cancel,” tap , or press the Home button .

Stop a phone call you started Before Phone opens, press the Home button . If Phone is already open,
with Siri tap End.

Telling Siri about yourself

The more Siri knows you, the more it can use your information to help you. Siri gets your
information from your personal info card (“My Info”) in Contacts.
Tell Siri who you are: Go to Settings > Siri > My Info, then tap your name.

Put your home and work addresses on your card, so you can say things like “How do I get home?”
and “Remind me to call Bob when I get to work.”

Siri also wants to know about the important people in your life, so specify those relationships on
your personal info card. Siri can set those up for you. For example, the first time you tell Siri to call
your sister, Siri asks you who your sister is (if you don’t already have that info on your card). Siri
adds that relationship to your personal info card so it doesn’t have to ask next time.

Create cards in Contacts for all your important relationships, and include information such as
phone numbers, email addresses, home and work addresses, and nicknames you like to use.

Chapter 4    Siri 41
 Onscreen guide
Siri gives you examples of things you can say, right on screen. Ask Siri “what can you do” or tap
when Siri first appears.

Handsfree Siri
You can use Siri with the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic that came with your iPhone, or
with other supported headphones and Bluetooth headsets.
Talk to Siri using earphones: Press and hold the center button.
Talk to Siri using a Bluetooth headset: Press and hold the call button.

To continue a conversation with Siri, press and hold the button each time you want to talk.

When you use earphones or a headset, Siri speaks its responses to you. Siri reads back text messages
and email messages that you’ve dictated before sending them. This gives you a chance to change
the message if you want. Siri also reads back the subjects of reminders before creating them.

Context
Siri pays attention to where you’re at and what you’re doing, so it understands context. If you just
received a text message from Bob, just say “Reply” and Siri knows to send a text message to Bob.
Say “Call him” and Siri knows to call Bob instead. Siri always lets you know what it is about to do.

Setting options for Siri

Turn Siri on or off: Go to Settings > General > Siri.
Note:  Turning Siri off resets Siri, and Siri forgets what it’s learned about your voice.
Set options for Siri: Go to Settings > General > Siri.
Language: Select the language you want to use with Siri.
Voice Feedback: By default, Siri speaks its responses only when you hold iPhone to your ear or
use Siri with earphones or a headset. If you want Siri to always speak its responses, set this option
to Always.
My Info: Let Siri know which card in Contacts contains your personal info. See “Telling Siri about
yourself” on page 41.
Raise to Speak: Talk to Siri by bringing iPhone to your ear when the screen is on.
Allow or prevent access to Siri when iPhone is locked with a passcode: Go to Settings >
General > Passcode Lock.
You can also disable Siri by turning on restrictions. See “Restrictions” on page 166.

42 Chapter 4    Siri
Location Services
Because Siri knows locations like “current,” “home,” and “work,” it can remind you to do a certain
task when you leave a location or arrive at a location. Tell Siri “Remind me to call my wife when I
leave the office,” and Siri does just that.

Location information isn’t tracked or stored outside the phone. You can still use Siri if you turn
Location Services off, but Siri won’t do anything that requires location information.
Turn off Location Services for Siri: Go to Settings > Location Services.

Accessibility
Siri is accessible to blind and visually impaired users through VoiceOver, the screen reader built
into iOS. VoiceOver describes aloud what’s onscreen—including any text in Siri’s responses—so
you can use iPhone without seeing it.
Turn on VoiceOver: Go to Settings > Accessibility.

Turning on VoiceOver causes even your notifications to be read aloud for you. For more
information, see “VoiceOver” on page 143.

Correcting Siri
If Siri is having trouble
Siri may sometimes have trouble understanding you. Noisy environments, for example, can make
it difficult for Siri to hear what you’re saying. If you speak with an accent, it can take Siri some time
to get used to your voice. If Siri doesn’t hear you exactly right, you can make corrections.

Siri shows what it heard you say, along with its response.
Correct what Siri hears you say: Tap the bubble showing what Siri heard you say. Edit your
request by typing, or tap on the keyboard to dictate.
For information about using dictation, see “Dictation” on page 55.
If some of the text is underlined in blue, tap it and Siri suggests some alternatives. Tap one of the
suggestions, or replace the text by typing or dictating.
Correct Siri by voice: Tap , then restate or clarify your request. For example, “I meant Boston.”

When correcting Siri, don’t say what you don’t want—just tell Siri what you do want.
Correct a mail or text message: If Siri asks if you want to send the message, say something like:
“Change it to: Call me tomorrow.”
“Add: See you there question mark.”
“No, send it to Bob.”
“No.” (to keep the message without sending it)
“Cancel.”
To have Siri read the message to you, say “Read it back to me” or “Read me the message.” If it’s
correct, say something like “Yes, send it.”
See “Mail” on page 49 and “Messages” on page 45.

How Siri learns

Siri works right from the start without setup, and gets better over time. Siri learns about your
accent and other characteristics of your voice, and categorizes your voice into one of the dialects
or accents it understands. As more people use Siri and as it’s exposed to more language variations,
recognition will improve and Siri will work even better.

Chapter 4    Siri 43
 Noisy environments
In a noisy environment, hold iPhone close to your mouth, but don’t talk directly into the bottom
edge. Continue to speak clearly and naturally. Tap when you finish speaking.

You can also try holding iPhone to your ear to speak to Siri.

Network connection
Siri might tell you it’s having trouble connecting to the network. Because Siri relies on Apple
servers for voice recognition and other services, you need to have a good 3G or 4G cellular or
Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.

Siri and apps

Siri works with most of the built-in apps on iPhone 4S, and uses the apps it needs to help you
with your requests. Siri knows when you’re using an app, so you can refer to elements on the
screen. For example, when reading a message in Mail, you can say “Reply, I like it.”

Phone
Use Siri to make a phone call or start a FaceTime call. You can refer to your family, friends, and
associates in Contacts, or say which phone number to use.

For example:
ÂÂ Call Jennifer Wright mobile
ÂÂ Call Susan on her work phone
ÂÂ Call 408 555 1212
ÂÂ Call home
ÂÂ FaceTime Lisa

Saying both the first and last name usually makes it clear who you want to call, but you can say
just one or the other and let Siri figure it out. Siri first checks your Favorites, and if a match is
found, calls that number. Next, Siri checks all your contacts. If there’s more than one person with
the same name, Siri asks which one you want to call. Siri also asks which phone number to use if
there’s more than one listed.

You can also ask Siri to call a business in your contacts.

44 Chapter 4    Siri
So that Siri knows who you’re referring to when you ask to make a call, make sure to introduce
yourself to Siri. See “Telling Siri about yourself” on page 41.

Stop a phone call you started Before Phone opens, press the Home button . If the phone call is in
with Siri progress, tap End.

Music
Ask Siri to play a song, album, or playlist. Pause playback, then resume. Set the mood by asking for
a certain type of music.

Or just say “Play” and let Siri choose for you. If you don’t recognize the song, ask Siri “What’s playing?”

Here are some ways you can play music with Siri:
ÂÂ Play The Light of the Sun
ÂÂ Play Trouble
ÂÂ Play Taking Back Sunday shuffled
ÂÂ Play Alicia Keys
ÂÂ Play some blues
ÂÂ Play my party mix
ÂÂ Shuffle my roadtrip playlist
ÂÂ Play
ÂÂ Pause
ÂÂ Resume
ÂÂ Skip

To hear similar songs to the one you’re listening to, say “Genius.” (Siri creates a temporary Genius
playlist, but it’s not saved.)

Messages
You can send text messages, have Siri read new messages to you, and respond to messages
you receive.

Include the name of the person to text, or wait for Siri to ask who you want to send it to. You can
text to a phone number, and you can text more than one person at once.

To send a text, say things like:

ÂÂ Tell Susan I’ll be right there
ÂÂ Send a message to Jason Russell
ÂÂ Send a message to Lisa saying how about tomorrow?
ÂÂ Send a message to Susan on her mobile saying I’ll be late
ÂÂ Send a message to 408 555 1212
ÂÂ Text Jason and Lisa where are you?

Chapter 4    Siri 45
 To see or hear messages you’ve received, you can say:
ÂÂ Read me my messages
ÂÂ Show my new texts
ÂÂ Read it again

If you’ve just received a text message or if you’re reading one that you received earlier, you can
simply say:
ÂÂ Reply that’s great news
ÂÂ Tell him I’ll be there in 10 minutes
ÂÂ Call her

Siri understands the context and knows who to address the reply to.

Before sending a message you’ve composed, Siri displays it or reads it back to you to make sure
it’s right. When Siri asks if you want to send the message, you can say:
ÂÂ Change it to: Call me tomorrow
ÂÂ Add: See you there question mark
ÂÂ No, send it to Bob
ÂÂ No (to keep the message without sending it)
ÂÂ Cancel

Want to tag your message with a smiley face? Say “smiley face,” of course. :-)

Editing messages
If you’re creating a text message with Siri but it’s not exactly what you wanted to say, you can
ask Siri to change it. If it’s pretty close, you might want to edit it instead. When Siri displays the
message for your review, tap the message bubble to open it in the Messages app. Then you can
edit the message by typing or dictating. See “Dictation” on page 55.

Calendar
Add new events to your calendar, change existing events, or find out what’s on your schedule.
When you create an event, you can specify a time, a place, a title, and the people you want to invite.

46 Chapter 4    Siri
To create an event:
ÂÂ Set up a meeting at 9
ÂÂ Set up a meeting with Michael at 9
ÂÂ Meet with Lisa at noon
ÂÂ Set up a meeting about hiring tomorrow at 9 a.m.
ÂÂ New appointment with Susan Park Friday at 3
ÂÂ Schedule a planning meeting at 8:30 today in the boardroom

To change or cancel an event:

ÂÂ Move my 3 p.m. meeting to 4:30
ÂÂ Reschedule my appointment with Dr. Manning to next Monday at 9 a.m.
ÂÂ Add Lisa to my meeting with Jason
ÂÂ Cancel the budget review meeting

To ask Siri about events:

ÂÂ What does the rest of my day look like?
ÂÂ What’s on my calendar for Friday?
ÂÂ When is my next appointment?
ÂÂ When am I meeting with Michael?
ÂÂ Where is my next event?

When you create, change, or ask about an event, Siri displays information about the event. To get
more information, tap the event.

Reminders
Siri’s a great way to set up a quick reminder.

To create a reminder, say things like:

ÂÂ Remind me to call mom
ÂÂ Remember to take an umbrella
ÂÂ Remind me take my medicine at 6 a.m. tomorrow
ÂÂ Remind me when I leave to call Jason
ÂÂ Remind me to finish the report by 6

Siri asks for information it needs in order to create the reminder, including date, time, and location.

Chapter 4    Siri 47
 Including location info lets Siri remind you about the item when you approach or leave a location.
A location can be your current location (“here”), or an address in Contacts. To let Siri know about
your home and work locations, see “Telling Siri about yourself” on page 41.
ÂÂ Remind me to call my mom when I get home
ÂÂ Remind me when I get to the office to call my wife
ÂÂ Remind me to pick up flowers when I leave here
ÂÂ Remind me to check the time when I get back here

Reminders are added to the default reminder list.

Set the default list for Reminders: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default List.

To keep a list without setting a specific time or location to be reminded:

ÂÂ Remember to buy milk
ÂÂ Add eggs to my groceries list

If Siri asks when you want to be reminded, you can say “never.”

If you have a list visible in Reminders, you can add to it just by saying “Add”:
ÂÂ Add eggs

When you create a reminder with Siri, Siri displays it for you to confirm.

You can confirm, cancel, or let Siri know you want to change something:
ÂÂ Change the time to 7
ÂÂ Make it Tuesday instead
ÂÂ Change that to: Get the car washed and waxed
ÂÂ Move it to my Work list
ÂÂ Move it to my Personal list

Once you confirm the reminder, you can tap it to open the Reminder app and see the reminder
and its details.

Maps
Use Siri to find a location, get directions, and see traffic conditions. For example:
ÂÂ How do I get home?
ÂÂ Show 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino California
ÂÂ Directions to my dad’s work
ÂÂ What’s the traffic like getting home?

48 Chapter 4    Siri
ÂÂ Find coffee near me
ÂÂ Find some burger joints in Baltimore
ÂÂ Find a gas station within walking distance
ÂÂ Good Mexican restaurants around here

If you ask about a location, Siri displays it on a map. Sometimes Siri goes directly to Maps, but you
can tap the map to open the Maps app if Siri doesn’t open it.

Siri might respond with a list of choices. For example, if you ask about burger joints, Siri looks for
hamburger restaurants in the vicinity and sorts the list by proximity. If you ask for the best burger
joint around, Siri sorts by rank. To sort the list another way, just ask “which is the best?” or “which is
the closest?”

Mail
With Siri, you can send mail, check your mail, and respond to mail you’ve received.

A mail message requires at least one recipient, a subject line (say “about”), and message text. But
don’t worry about getting it all down in one breath—Siri will ask for what’s needed to complete
the email.

To email someone:
ÂÂ Email Lisa about the trip
ÂÂ New email to Susan Park
ÂÂ Mail Dad about the rent check

Chapter 4    Siri 49
 ÂÂ Email Dr. Manning and say I got the forms, thanks
ÂÂ Mail Lisa and Jason about the party and say I had a great time

To check your mail:

ÂÂ Check email
ÂÂ Any new email from Michael today?
ÂÂ Show new mail about the lease
ÂÂ Show the email from Lisa yesterday

To respond to email:
ÂÂ Reply Dear Susan sorry about the late payment
ÂÂ Call him at work

Before sending an email, Siri displays or reads it back to you so you can make sure it’s right. When
Siri asks if you want to send the email, you can say:
ÂÂ Change it to say: Check’s in the mail
ÂÂ Add John (to include another recipient)
ÂÂ Change subject to: This weekend

Editing email
If you create an email with Siri but it’s not exactly what you want to say, ask Siri to change it. If
it’s pretty close, you can edit it instead. Tap the message to open it in the Mail app, then edit it by
typing or dictating. See “Dictation” on page 55.

Weather
Use Siri to get weather information. If you don’t give a location, Siri assumes you mean your
current location. If you don’t give a time, Siri shows today’s forecast, but you can ask about the
weather anytime in the coming week.
ÂÂ What’s the weather for today?
ÂÂ What’s the weather for tomorrow?
ÂÂ Will it rain in Cupertino this week?
ÂÂ What’s the forecast for this evening?
ÂÂ How’s the weather in Tampa right now?
ÂÂ How hot will it be in Palm Springs this weekend?
ÂÂ What’s the high for Anchorage on Thursday?
ÂÂ What’s the temperature outside?

50 Chapter 4    Siri
ÂÂ How windy is it out there?
ÂÂ When is sunrise in Paris?

Stocks
Use Siri to quickly get quotes for your favorite stocks. Get market capitalization, or P/E ratios. Ask
about specific indexes, and the situation in general. For example:
ÂÂ What’s Apple’s stock price?
ÂÂ What’s Apple’s P/E ratio?
ÂÂ What did Yahoo close at today?
ÂÂ How’s the Nikkei doing?
ÂÂ How are the markets doing?
ÂÂ What’s the Dow at?

Clock
Use Siri to quickly set an alarm for the morning, a timer for that cake in the oven, or find out what
time it is at your overseas destination.

To set or change alarms:

ÂÂ Wake me up tomorrow at 7 a.m.
ÂÂ Set an alarm for 6:30 a.m.
ÂÂ Wake me up in 8 hours
ÂÂ Change my 6:30 alarm to 6:45

Chapter 4    Siri 51
 ÂÂ Turn off my 6:30 alarm
ÂÂ Delete my 7:30 alarm

When you set an alarm, Siri displays the alarm so you can see that it’s correct. You can tap the
switch to turn the alarm on or off. Tap the alarm to open it in the Clock app.

To ask about the date and time:

ÂÂ What time is it?
ÂÂ What time is it in Berlin?
ÂÂ What is today’s date?
ÂÂ What’s the date this Saturday?

Siri displays a clock for you. Tap it to open the Clock app.

To use the timer:

ÂÂ Set the timer for ten minutes
ÂÂ Show the timer
ÂÂ Pause the timer
ÂÂ Resume
ÂÂ Reset the timer
ÂÂ Stop it

52 Chapter 4    Siri
Siri displays a timer. Tap it to open the Clock app.

Contacts
Siri uses your entries in Contacts to find addresses, look up phone numbers and other information,
or tell you about someone’s birthday. Siri even knows who your relatives are by looking at your
personal contact card. See “Telling Siri about yourself” on page 41.

To ask about contacts, you can say:

ÂÂ What’s Michael’s address?
ÂÂ What is Susan Park’s phone number?
ÂÂ When is my wife’s birthday?
ÂÂ Show Jennifer’s home email address
ÂÂ What’s my brother’s work address?

To find contacts:
ÂÂ Show Jason Russell
ÂÂ Find people named Park
ÂÂ Who is Michael Manning?

If you’re not sure which phone number to use for a contact, ask Siri to show the person’s contact
information. To call, just tap a number. Other items are active as well—tap an email address to
start a new email message, or tap the FaceTime button to speak face to face. “Find John” may help
you narrow down the list of possibilities, if you know it’s John but can’t remember the last name.

Chapter 4    Siri 53
 Notes
Use Siri to verbally jot down notes, or look up notes you’ve already made. Say things like:
ÂÂ Note that I spent $12 on lunch
ÂÂ Note: check out that new Alicia Keys album
ÂÂ Find my restaurant note
ÂÂ Create a reading list note
ÂÂ Add Tom Sawyer to my reading list note

Siri displays the note for you to review. To edit the note, tap it. Siri opens the Notes app for you,
and you can edit the note by typing or dictating. See “Dictation” on page 55.

Safari
You can do a web search with Siri—specify which search engine to use, or search a site like
Wikipedia. For example:
ÂÂ Search the web for Bora Bora
ÂÂ Search for vegetarian pasta recipes
ÂÂ Search the web for best cable plans
ÂÂ Google the war of 1812
ÂÂ Search Wikipedia for Abraham Lincoln
ÂÂ Search for news about the World Cup
ÂÂ Bing Alicia Keys

Siri opens Safari and performs the search you request. If you don’t specify the search engine, Siri
uses the one specified in Safari settings. Go to Settings > Safari.

WolframAlpha
Ask Siri to provide some information or perform a calculation, and Siri might refer to
WolframAlpha (www.wolframalpha.com). Responses often include related info.

Some sample questions and requests:

ÂÂ How many calories in a bagel?
ÂÂ What is an 18% tip on $86.74 for four people?
ÂÂ Who’s buried in Grant’s tomb?
ÂÂ How long do dogs live?
ÂÂ What is the Gossamer Condor?

54 Chapter 4    Siri
ÂÂ What’s the square root of 28?
ÂÂ How many dollars is 45 euros?
ÂÂ What was the Best Picture of 1983?
ÂÂ How many days until Christmas?
ÂÂ How far away is the sun?
ÂÂ When is the next solar eclipse?
ÂÂ Show me the Orion constellation
ÂÂ What’s the population of Jamaica?
ÂÂ How high is Mt. Everest?
ÂÂ How deep is the Atlantic Ocean?
ÂÂ What’s the price of gasoline in Chicago?

Dictation
When Siri is turned on, you can also dictate text. See “Dictation” on page 27.

Although you can compose email, text messages, and other text by talking directly with Siri,
you might prefer dictation. Dictation lets you edit a message instead of replacing the entire text.
Dictation also gives you more time to think while composing.

Siri understands pauses to mean you finished talking for the moment, and takes that opportunity
to respond. While this lets you have a natural conversation with Siri, Siri might interrupt you
before you’re really done, because you paused a moment to think. With dictation, you can pause
as frequently as you like, and resume talking when you’re ready.

You can also start composing text using Siri, then continue using dictation. For example, you
can create an email with Siri, then tap the draft to open the message in Mail. In Mail, you can
complete or edit the message and make other changes, such as adding or removing recipients,
revising the subject, or changing the account you’re sending the email from.

 Important:  You should not rely on wireless devices for essential communications, such as medical
emergencies. Use of iPhone to call emergency services may not work in all areas or all operating
conditions. Emergency numbers and services vary by area, and sometimes an emergency call
cannot be placed due to network availability or environmental interference. Some cellular
networks may not accept an emergency call from iPhone if iPhone is not activated, if iPhone is not
compatible with or configured to operate on a particular cellular network, or (when applicable) if
iPhone does not have a SIM or if the SIM is PIN-locked. If you’re on a FaceTime video call, you must
end that call before you can call an emergency number.

FaceTime
FaceTime video calls (iPhone 4 or later) let you see as well as hear the person you’re talking to. You
can make a video call to someone with a Mac or iOS device that supports FaceTime. No setup is
needed, but you must have a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. By default, FaceTime uses the front
camera so the person you call can see your face; switch to the rear camera to share what you see
around you.

Note:  FaceTime may not be available in all areas.

Make a FaceTime call:  In Contacts, choose a name, tap FaceTime, then tap the phone number
or email address the person uses for FaceTime.
To call someone who has an iPhone 4 or later, you can start by making a voice call, then

About location reminders

Location reminders are available only on iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, and may not be available in all
areas. You cannot set locations for reminders in Microsoft Exchange and Outlook accounts.

You can set a location reminder to have Reminders alert you when you approach the location,
and again when you’re no longer near the area. For best results, specify a location that’s well
defined—such as an address instead of a city—and remember that the accuracy can vary. iPhone
may check its location less frequently depending on your model of iPhone and whether it’s
locked, so there may be a delay before the reminder is triggered.

When you create a reminder, you can use your current location or a location from your contacts
list. Add locations that you’ll use with Reminders, such as the grocery store or school, to Contacts.
You should also add personal locations, such as your home and work addresses, to your contact
card in Contacts. Reminders shows the locations from your contact card. For information about
setting your contact card in Contacts, see “Contacts accounts and settings” on page 125.

VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPhone without seeing it.

VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as you select it. When you select an
element, a black rectangle (the VoiceOver cursor) encloses it and VoiceOver speaks the name or
describes the item.

Touch the screen or drag your fingers to hear different 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 you—for example, “double-tap to open.” To interact with items on the
screen, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in “Learning VoiceOver gestures” on
page 145.

When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and automatically selects and speaks
the first element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets
you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen is
locked or unlocked.

Note:  VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which may be

influenced by the Region Format setting (Settings > General > International > Region Format).
VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.

Setting up VoiceOver
Important:  VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPhone. Once VoiceOver is turned
on, you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone—even to turn VoiceOver off again to
resume standard operation.

Note:  You can’t use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.

Turn VoiceOver on or off:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. You can also set
Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See “Triple-click Home” on page 153.

Turn spoken hints on or off Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. When Speak Hints
is turned on, VoiceOver may tell you the action of the item or provide
instructions for you—for example, “double-tap to open.” You can also
add Hints to the rotor, then swipe up or down to adjust. See “Using the
VoiceOver rotor control” on page 147.
Set the VoiceOver speaking rate Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and drag the Speaking
Rate slider. You can also add Speech Rate to the rotor, then swipe up or
down to adjust. See “Using the VoiceOver rotor control” on page 147.
Change typing feedback Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing Feedback.
Use phonetics in typing feedback Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Use Phonetics. Text
is read character-by-character. Voiceover first speaks the character, then its
phonetic equivalent—for example, “f” and then “foxtrot.”
Use pitch change Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Use Pitch Change.
VoiceOver uses a higher pitch when entering a letter, and a lower pitch
when deleting a letter. VoiceOver also uses a higher pitch when speaking
the first item of a group (such as a list or table) and a lower pitch when
speaking the last item of a group.
Set rotor options Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor. Tap to select

Learning VoiceOver gestures

When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have different effects. These and
some additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual elements when
they’re selected. VoiceOver gestures include two- and three-finger gestures to tap or flick. For best
results when using two- and three-finger gestures, relax and let your fingers touch the screen with
some space between them.

You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and holding your
finger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures are in force. They remain in
effect until you lift your finger. Then VoiceOver gestures resume.

You can use different techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can enter a
two-finger tap using two fingers from one hand, or one finger from each hand. You can also use
your thumbs. Many find the “split-tap” gesture especially effective: instead of selecting an item
and double-tapping, you can touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen with
another finger. Try different techniques to discover which works best for you.

If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and flicking
gestures. To flick, try quickly brushing the screen with your finger or fingers. When VoiceOver is
turned on, the VoiceOver Practice button appears, which gives you a chance to practice VoiceOver
gestures before proceeding.
Practice gestures:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap VoiceOver
Practice. When you finish practicing, tap Done.

Chapter 31    Accessibility 145

Using the VoiceOver rotor control
The rotor control is a virtual dial that you can use to change the results of up and down flick
gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.
Operate the rotor:  Rotate two fingers on the iPhone screen around a point between them.

Change the options included in the rotor:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver >
Rotor and select the options you want to be available using the rotor.

The effect of the rotor setting depends on what you’re doing. If you’re reading text in an email
you received, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by-word or
character-by-character when you flick up or down. If you’re browsing a webpage, you can use the
rotor setting to hear all the text (either word-by-word or character-by-character), or to jump from
one element to another of a certain type, such as headers or links.

Entering and editing text with VoiceOver

When you select a text field with VoiceOver, you can use the onscreen keyboard or an external
keyboard connected to iPhone to enter text.

There are two ways to enter text in VoiceOver—standard typing and touch typing. With standard
typing, you select a key, then double-tap the screen to enter the character. With touch typing, you
touch to select a key and the character is entered automatically when you lift your finger. Touch
typing can be quicker, but may require more practice than standard typing.

VoiceOver also lets you use the editing features of iPhone to cut, copy, or paste in a text field.
Enter text:  Select an editable text field, double-tap to display the insertion point and the
onscreen keyboard, and type characters.
ÂÂ Standard typing:  Select a key on the keyboard by flicking left or right, then double-tap to enter
the character. Or move you finger around the keyboard to select a key and, while continuing
to touch the key with one finger, tap the screen with another finger. VoiceOver speaks the key
when it’s selected, and again when the character is entered.
ÂÂ Touch typing:  Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your finger to enter the
character. If you touch the wrong key, move your finger on the keyboard until you select 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 finger.
Note:  Touch typing works only for the keys that enter text. Use standard typing for other keys
such as Shift, Delete, and Return.
Move the insertion point:  Flick 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. 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. To 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.

Choose standard or touch typing With VoiceOver turned on and a key selected on the keyboard, use the
rotor to select Typing Mode, then flick up or down.
Delete a character Select the , then double-tap or split-tap. You must do this even when
touch typing. To delete multiple characters, touch and hold the Delete key,
then tap the screen with another finger once for each character you want
to delete. VoiceOver speaks the character as it’s deleted. If Use Pitch Change
is turned on, VoiceOver speaks deleted characters in a lower pitch.
Select text Set the rotor to Edit, flick up or down to choose Select or Select All, then
double tap. If you chose Select, the word closest to the insertion point is
selected when you double-tap. If you chose Select All, the entire text is
selected. Pinch apart or together to increase or decrease the selection.
Cut, copy, or paste Make sure the rotor is set to edit. With text selected, flick up or down to
choose Cut, Copy, or Paste, then double-tap.
Undo Shake iPhone, flick left or right to choose the action to undo, then
double-tap.
Enter an accented character In standard typing mode, select the plain character, then double-tap and
hold until you hear a sound indicating alternate characters have appeared.
Drag left or right to select and hear the choices. Release your finger to enter
the current selection.

typing in to use the language specified in International settings. The Language
rotor appears only if you select more than one language in the VoiceOver
Language Rotor setting. See “Setting up VoiceOver” on page 143.

Making phone calls with VoiceOver

Double-tap the screen with two fingers to answer or end a call. When a phone call is established

 Using a braille display with VoiceOver
You can use a refreshable Bluetooth braille display to read VoiceOver output in braille, and you
can use a braille display with input keys and other controls to control iPhone when VoiceOver is
turned on. iPhone works with many wireless braille displays. For a list of supported displays, go to
www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/braille-display.html.
Set up a braille display:  Turn on the display, then go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and
turn on Bluetooth. Then, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille and choose
the display.

Turn contracted braille on or off Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille.
Turn eight-dot braille on or off Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille.

For information about common braille commands for VoiceOver navigation, and for information
specific to certain displays, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT4400.

The braille display uses the language that’s set for Voice Control. This is normally the language set
for iPhone in Settings > International > Language. You can use the VoiceOver language setting to
set a different language for VoiceOver and braille displays.
Set the language for VoiceOver:  Go to Settings > General > International > Voice Control, then
choose the language.

If you change the language for iPhone, you may need to reset the language for VoiceOver and
your braille display.

You can set the leftmost or rightmost cell of your braille display to provide system status and
other information:
ÂÂ Announcement History contains an unread message
ÂÂ The current Announcement History message hasn’t been read
ÂÂ VoiceOver speech is muted
ÂÂ The iPhone battery is low (less than 20% charge)
ÂÂ iPhone is in landscape orientation
ÂÂ The screen display is turned off
ÂÂ The current line contains additional text to the left
ÂÂ The current line contains additional text to the right
Set the leftmost or rightmost cell to display status information:  Go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille > Status Cell, and tap Left or Right.
See an expanded description of the status cell:  On your braille display, press the status cell’s
router button.

Routing the audio of incoming calls

You can have the audio of incoming calls automatically routed to a headset or speaker phone
instead of the iPhone receiver.
Reroute call audio:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Incoming Calls and choose where
you want to hear your calls.

Siri
With Siri, you can do things with your iPhone just by asking, and VoiceOver can read Siri responses
to you. For information, see Chapter 4, “Siri,” on page 39.

Triple-click Home
Triple-click Home provides an easy way to turn some of the Accessibility features on or off when
you press the Home button quickly three times. You can set Triple-click Home to:
ÂÂ Turn VoiceOver on or off
ÂÂ Turn White on Black on or off
ÂÂ Turn Zoom on or off
ÂÂ Turn AssistiveTouch on or off

You can also set Triple-click Home to present the option to turn VoiceOver, White on Black, or
Zoom on or off. Triple-click Home is turned off by default.
Set the Triple-click Home function:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.

Zoom
Many iPhone apps let you zoom in or out on specific elements. For example, you can double-tap
or use the pinch gesture to expand webpage columns in Safari.

Zoom is also a special accessibility feature that lets you magnify the entire screen of any app
you’re using, to help you see what’s on the display.

While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see “Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard” on
page 27), the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the center of the display.
Turn Zoom on or off:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use Triple-click Home.
See “Triple-click Home” on page 153.

Note:  You can’t use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.

Zoom in or out Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified
200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-
and-drag gesture, described below), iPhone automatically returns to that
magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to
increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease
magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except
you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on
the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
Move around the screen When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers. Once you start
dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more of
the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that
side of the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more
quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle
of the screen.

Large Text
Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages,
and Notes.
Set the text size:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Large Text.

channels. You can adjust the balance of the mono signal for greater volume on the right or left.
Turn Mono Audio on or off:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Mono Audio.

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 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, and 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 current iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings, go to 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, use them together before purchase.

Hearing Aid Mode

iPhone 4 GSM 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 (iPhone 4 GSM):  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility.
