Apple will be updating iOS to iOS 9 this year. As per Apple’s tradition, some old devices will be left out for this upcoming software upgrade. Do check out whether your device is affected or not.<\/p>\n

\"apple-ios9\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the greatest features on iOS 9, in my opinion, is that you will use less storage space when performing software upgrade. Another feature which is available on iPad will be the Slide Over which lets you use a second app without leaving the first one.<\/p>\n

BTW, here is the chart showing the compatible devices for iOS 9.<\/p>\n

Apple Previews iOS 9
\n
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n
SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 8 June, 2015<\/strong> \u2014 Apple\u00ae today unveiled iOS 9, giving a preview of new iPhone\u00ae, iPad\u00ae and iPod touch\u00ae software that will be available later this year. In this upcoming release, iOS devices become more intelligent\u00a0and proactive with powerful search and improved Siri\u00ae features \u2014 all without compromising users\u2019 privacy. New multitasking features designed specifically for iPad allow you to work with two apps simultaneously, side-by-side or\u00a0with the new Picture-in-Picture feature, to keep watching a video while browsing the web, composing email or using any other app. Built-in apps become more powerful in iOS 9 with detailed transit information in Maps*, a\u00a0redesigned Notes app with new ways to capture ideas, and an all-new News app for the best news reading experience on any mobile device.
\n
\n<\/span>\u201ciOS 9 is packed with more intelligence throughout, and delivers big updates to the apps customers use most \u2014 Maps supports public transit, a redesigned Notes app provides great new ways to capture ideas, and a beautiful\u00a0News app delivers content that\u2019s personalised to your interests,\u201d said Craig Federighi, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of Software Engineering. \u201cWith our new iPad features, users can take advantage of the power of iPad, working in\u00a0two apps at the same time with Split View, Slide Over or Picture-in-Picture.\u201d
\n
\n<\/span>Intelligence<\/strong>
\nSiri features an all-new design in iOS 9, contextual reminders and new ways to search photos and videos. Proactive assistance presents the most relevant information without compromising users\u2019 privacy and suggests actions at a\u00a0particular moment \u2014 even before you start typing \u2014 automatically suggesting apps to launch or people to contact based on usage patterns, and notifying you when you need to leave for appointments, taking into account traffic\u00a0conditions. iOS 9 can even learn what you typically listen to in a certain location or at a particular time of day, so when you plug in headphones at the gym or hop in the car before work, it can automatically display playback controls\u00a0for your preferred app. Typed search queries deliver more relevant results from more categories, including sports scores and schedules, videos and simple math calculations.
\n
\n<\/span>New iPad Features<\/strong>
\nWith a simple swipe, the new Slide Over feature lets you simultaneously work in a second app without leaving the first. And with a quick tap, you can access the new Split View feature so you can work in two apps at the same time,\u00a0side-by-side. Picture-in-Picture lets you continue a FaceTime\u00ae call or video while using your favourite apps. These new multitasking features are supported by built-in Apple apps, and APIs make it easy for third-party developers to\u00a0add support into their own apps. Typing is faster and easier with an all-new Shortcut Bar that displays actions tailored for the app you are in, and new Multi-Touch\u2122 gestures make it even easier to select and edit text.
\n
\n<\/span>Built-In Apps<\/strong>
\nIn iOS 9, Maps adds support for metropolitan transit systems and schedules, and subway station entrances and exits are precisely mapped, providing every step of your trip. When you plan your trip, Maps can offer a combination\u00a0of trains, subways, buses and walking, and with the new Nearby feature, quickly see what\u2019s around by searching for food, drinks, shopping and more.
\n
\n<\/span>New features of the completely redesigned Notes app include the ability to draw a quick sketch using your finger, easily create checklists to keep track of your to-dos, or snap a photo directly in a note. Easily save important items to\u00a0your notes directly from other apps, and keep them in sync across all your enabled devices with iCloud\u00ae.
\n
\n<\/span>The News app delivers a reading experience that combines the rich, immersive design of a print magazine with the interactivity of digital media. News can learn your interests and suggest relevant content that\u2019s easily shareable\u00a0with friends or saved for later. News delivers the best articles from a variety of publishers and over one million topics to help you personalise your reading experience, all presented in an elegant, uncluttered design. News is\u00a0powered by the new Apple News Format\u2122, a digital publishing format supporting custom typography, galleries, audio, video and interactive animations, allowing publishers like Conde Nast, ESPN and The New York Times to\u00a0create beautiful editorial layouts for iOS users.
\n
\n<\/span>With iOS 9, Apple Pay\u2122 adds support for Discover, rewards programs from merchants such as Walgreens and Kohl\u2019s Department Stores, and participating store-issued credit and debit cards. Shoppers will be able to manage their\u00a0cards in the new Wallet app.\u00a0Apple Pay is only available today in the U.S. and will also be available to users in the UK starting next month.<\/div>\n

Foundation<\/strong>
\niOS 9 makes the foundation of iOS even stronger with refinements including battery optimisation that provides a typical user with an additional hour of battery life**, and a low-power mode to help further extend battery life. Software\u00a0updates require less space to install and an Install Later feature can perform updates to your device when it\u2019s not in use. Enhanced security features in iOS 9 keep your devices and Apple ID secure by strengthening the passcode\u00a0that protects your devices and improving two-factor authentication by building it directly into iOS, making it harder for others to gain unauthorised access to your Apple ID.
