Revealed at Apple's annual developers conference in San Francisco, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, said the goal of iOS 9 was to "elevate the foundations of the platform".
Apple claims iOS 9 will give you one additional hour of battery life before a recharge is required (compared to now). It says this is because apps and key technologies used in its updated operating system have been made more efficient to trim battery usage wherever possible.
The powerful built-in apps on your iPhone and iPad are designed for the essential things you use them for every day — mail, messages, web browsing, maps, making notes, and so much more. iOS 9 brings key enhancements to several of these apps, and introduces a brand-new one that will change how you experience news.
iOS 9 is full of enhancements you’ll appreciate every day. Your apps become more essential. New multitasking features on iPad make you even more productive. Siri can do more than ever, and new proactive suggestions help you get things done before you ask. And improvements at the foundation of the operating system enhance performance, battery life, and security. The more you do with iOS 9, the more you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.
All the news you want. Right where you want it.
iOS 9 adds a new app to your Home screen. News conveniently collects all the stories you want to read, from top news sources, based on topics you’re most interested in — so you no longer need to move from app to app to stay informed. News also combines the rich and immersive design found in print with the interactivity of digital media, letting you enjoy stunningly crafted articles just how the publisher intended.
