California – After the disasters involved with iOS 8, Apple (NYSE: APPL) is releasing iOS 9 mobile platform, giving a preview of new iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software that will be available this fall.
Today Apple has officially released iOS 9 after nearly 100 days in beta testing, but for millions of users attempting to download it, the service has failed repeatedly causing numerous angry outbursts across social media.
With this upcoming release, iOS devices become more intelligent and proactive with powerful search and improved Siri features, all without compromising users’ privacy. New multitasking features designed specifically for iPad allow you to work with two apps simultaneously, side-by-side or with 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 redesigned Notes app with new ways to capture ideas, and an all-new News app for the best news reading experience on any mobile device.
“iOS 9 is packed with more intelligence throughout and delivers big updates to the apps customers use most. Maps supports public transit, a redesigned Notes app provides great new ways to capture ideas, and a beautiful News app delivers content that’s personalized to your interests[…] With our new iPad features, users can take advantage of the power of iPad, working in two apps at the same time with Split View” reportedly said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering.
Best New Features
Improved battery life, up to one additional hour of usage from a full charge. Smarter helps find more support for natural language searches and integration with third party apps.
Now reduced installation size, iOS requires just 1.3GB of space to update, compared to 4.58GB with iOS 8.4.1 and brings improved multitasking (latest iPads only), true side-by-side app support and picture-in-picture video support.
Availability
The iOS 9 beta software is available immediately for iOS Developer Program members at developer.apple.com, and a public beta program is available in since July at beta.apple.com. iOS 9 will be available this fall as a free software update for iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch 5th generation, iPad 2 and later, iPad mini and later.
