Apple has unveiled its newest mobile operating system, the iOS 9, during the Worlwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2015 held early this month and all indications point to the fact that it is a more intelligent mobile OS compared to its predecessors.
The American tech giant’s iOS 9 comes with a lot of great new features that will make one’s iOS experience truly awesome, and Apple mobile device users have all the reasons to really be excited about its impending release.
As an indication that the iOS 9 is about to be released soon following its formal introduction at the WWDC 2015, Apple has already seeded the iOS 9 beta to developers and reports are rife that the American tech giant shall also release the iOS 9 beta 2 in the last week of June to enable the public to test the software beginning in July before its launch this coming fall.
It is expected that the iOS 9 will be launched in September along with the latest iPhones from Apple which shall likely feature the newest operating software on it.
Building on the content of its predecessors
The Apple iOS 9 builds on the contents introduced with iOS 7 and iOS 8, bringing along subtle design changes, refined features and improved functionality, as well as performance enhancements, according to Macrumors.
What makes the newest mobile operating system stand out from its predecessors is the fact that its biggest focus is on intelligence and proactivity, which enables iOS devices to learn user habits and act on that information.
The intelligence of the iOS 9 is largely because of the Proactive Suggestions feature that turns the iOS device, be it an iPhone or an iPad, into a lifestyle management tool and makes personal assistant Siri more responsive and able to complete more tasks than ever before.
Proactive Suggestions actually opens up apps even before the user needs them, making recommendation on places that the user might like to go, and guiding the user through his daily routine to ensure that he gets to the right place and appointment at the right time.
So if a user for example likes to listen to music in the morning, the Proactive Suggestion in the iOS 9 will automatically open the Music app to a favorite playlist when the user plugs in his headphones.
If the user likes to check on the weather app before he goes out every day, the iOS 9 will automatically do it for him as soon as his alarm goes off.
The best features
While the iOS 9 has certainly tons of great features, Appadvice enumerated its best five features including the multitasking for iPad, battery life boost on the iOS device, a more proactive Siri, photo view scrubber, and Apple beta software program.
The iOS 9 will come with a multitasking feature that will be available on the iPads, with a different view on the iPhones. iPad users will be able to take advantage of a split view screen which would enable a user to open two different apps at the same time and side by side.
