How to Identify Apple's Different iPad Models & Generations Top Button: Sleep/Wake At the top right of your iPad you'll find the Sleep/Wake button. Pressing and holding this button activates Siri. When your device is on and awake, pressing this button puts your iPad back to sleep. When idle, pressing it wakes your device. You can also toggle on Lock/ Unlock, which allows you to wake your iPad when you open your iPad cover. You can also press the Sleep/Wake button to send incoming calls to Voicemail. For the 4th-generation iPad Air, this button is your Touch ID. For all other models, you will be using Face ID. If you have Face ID or Touch ID enabled, then to unlock your device you simply wake your iPad and look at the screen. The lock icon along the top should unlock once you are recognized, indicating that you can start using the device. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go to your Home screen. To lock your iPad once again, press the Top button. If you don’t have Face ID or Touch ID enabled, then to unlock your device you must wake your iPad, swipe up from the bottom of the screen, and then enter your passcode. Volume Buttons Along the right side of your tablet near the top, you’ll find the volume buttons, which can control the volume when you play videos and music as well as your ringer and alerts. You can customize what the buttons control by going to Settings > Sounds. If you toggle on Change with Buttons, you’ll be able to control your ringer and alert levels with the volume buttons. I prefer to mute all alerts on my iPad and use the volume buttons just to control video and music playback. For more iPad customization options, check out our Tip of the Day!
