Energy efficiency
At WWDC Apple announced the upcoming availability of intelligent notifications in iOS 9. The system knows when the phone is in your pocket, and when - face down on the table, does not consume battery power to switch the screen and the CPU power supply. In conjunction with the duty of general optimization, this gives a significant increase in work time. Retrieved on their own experience.
In addition, iOS 9 will give us the power saving mode. Optimization of system processes, restrictions on network activity and "beautiful" the system will provide an extra few hours and do not give the phone to quickly get into a critical situation. Efficiency Energy Saver mode we've tested, with the results available here.
Optimization of the used space
Despite the tradition with each update to remove from the list of supported devices is extreme, this year iOS 9 will get even the owners of iPhone 4s. The company even promises
bring smartphones into feelings update, though I believe it poorly.The good news is that, regardless of the law-growth application size, the update will take up to 3.5 times less space on the device than is the case with iOS 8. In addition, if the updates can not find enough free space, system temporarily remove some applications, and then return to place. By the way, Apple has brought some experience of OS X, and will prompt the user to choose a convenient time to install the software on your smartphone fresh. "Lose weight" and the application: If you have iPhone 6, then you download from the App Store version, designed specifically for your model.
The system has become "smarter"
Predictive of Siri, contextual search, recommendations - all this will be in iOS 9. The smartphone is now not only analyzes, but is studying the habits of the owner, and extracts from it. Listen on the way to work your favorite playlist from SoundCloud and iTunes? Your morning begins not with coffee, and with Twitter and news feeds? After a while, the system will remember it as diligent valet.
Teams "What is currently playing?" Or "Remind me about this a week" - no longer a problem for of Siri, as well as search for any adjustments in the ever-increasing list of eponymous iOS section. In addition, the system taught automatically disable Wi-Fi and move to mobile communications seamless to the user, if the signal is too weak for normal data download.
Multiple windows for iPad
The chip exclusively for iPad owners, and so far only the most recent. It is possible that timed to the release 12-inch iPad Pro novelty deserves the title of one of the most useful changes for iOS tablet users for a long time. Besides, it almost blurs the line between utility and top-end MacBook Jr. iPad, when it comes to productivity. Agree, work in two applications simultaneously, an external keyboard, 128GB and the 3G-module - a strong argument in favor of iPad, when you need to quickly conduct an audit of e-mail correspondence, work with documents, or simply to find information in Network.
CarPlay
This feature does not require any additional manipulation with your smartphone - all already provided for the system. If you are lucky enough to buy a car for at least an average price category of the current model year or a modern multimedia system - rather just after upgrading to iOS 9 you will be accompanied Maps navigation on your way to work, and music from your iPhone without any extra cables in the far journey.
"Notes" have reached a new level
The new "Notes" Try to kill for you need to Evernote. The application could configure text formatting toolbar, lists, sketches, photographs, and even search for file attachments. In general, for quick notes on the go - the most it.
Keyboard and optimization of multi-tasking
iOS updates are full of small but often very useful improvements, without which no longer represents the system. You are reading Twitter and receive messages in Facebook Messenger. Once open the app in the top left corner will hang back button back to the tape. No unnecessary clicks and conversions through the multitasking menu, which, by the way, also changed the design.
With every Apple update improves the keyboard, leaving less chance of third-party developers. The novelty will be predictive text input in Russian, which say that works well - to say nothing, and the Shift key will no longer cause a permanent state of perplexity letter case. No less steep innovation - the positioning of the cursor movements of two fingers on the keyboard.
Safari Improvements
Safari easily compete in the matter of speed and convenience, with Chrome and other alternatives. The new iOS it, among other things, I learned to block annoying ads extension, load pages faster save them in the PDF to iBooks and customize the theme Safari Reader mode. However, the last function is quite useless. And that's what really matters - Safari View ControllerWho under force to implement the familiar browser interface in any application needing. The advantages of this for users - speed, thanks to the Nitro engine, and support for "Keychain" in case you have to enter usernames and passwords.
Continuity outside a Wi-Fi network
This is another stone in the garden convenience gadgets without being tied to your phone. If one of the main chips iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Continuity - offered to call, write messages, "seamlessly" work on multiple devices at the same time only within a single Wi-Fi network, it will soon only restriction will be the availability of Internet connection. So far, only the words of the representatives of Apple and for users of T-Mobile, but it is unlikely the company will leave the chip exclusive for a limited number of iPhone owners.
Security
Passcode became a hundred times more reliable - it only took Apple add two additional digits to the default password. small changes touched unlocking device after theft or loss. Under the rules of the new account recovery system, it is sufficient to provide the Apple phone number to which you have received calls and messages. Further, the company will consider the application on an individual basis.
modified gallery
Every time Apple realizes the cool idea of third-party developers. For example, in iOS 9 were separate folders under the screen shots and Self, and in search, you can quickly find shots of a specific date or place. This killer-feature in a matter of convenience - the selection of multiple photos swipe. Those who wish to remove in one fell swoop a few hundred photos to free up memory, dedicated.
Against this improving picture does not end there. Tape thumbnails, which is located at the bottom of the preview window, helps you quickly navigate in chronological order for a few weeks back and forth. Swipe down the photos you return to the tile thumbnail images are not only removed, but also hidden, and videos while viewing if desired and can bring.
Detailed battery statistics
Now, in this section, "Settings", you can easily analyze the "extravagance" of applications. It includes information on the time when the programs were launched, displayed on the screen or run in the background. Another option, which indirectly affects the work
New tools to work with notifications
Curtain notifications continues to try to win the attention of the user. Instead of porridge, sorted by application, iOS 9 offers a chronological order. Storck has become more informative, it was easy to clean by day.
In addition, there appeared iPhone battery status widget, Apple Watch and any gadget connected via Bluetooth. We are given a little more options and third-party developers. Interact with notifications from the "Notification Center" or a lock screen that appeared in iOS 8, found its continuation in the creation of individual actions for each application.
iCloud Drive became a separate application
The materialized Apple cloud service for millions of users iOS 9, adding the option "On the Home" in the iCloud settings.
