On iPhone models with Touch ID, you can use the sensor in the Home button to read your

ngerprint, instead of using your passcode or Apple ID password to unlock iPhone or make

purchases in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. See Touch ID on page 44. If you have

iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, you can also use the Touch ID sensor for authentication when using

Apple Pay to make a purchase in a store or from within an app. See Touch ID on page 44 and

Apple Pay on page 132 .

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

Shortcut on page 151.
