iOS 9: 5 Important Things I Learned in 24 Hours

Apple’s iOS 9 update is finally here and available to download for select devices, including the iPhone 6, iPhone 5, and iPhone 4s. We’re delving into the iOS 9 update and its performance, and today we want to highlight five key things we learned the other day.

In June, Apple announced the iOS 9 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. At the time, the company confirmed the devices that will receive it (most), key iOS 9 features (Notes, News, etc.), and an uncertain iOS 9 release date (fall).

Last week, Apple finally decided it was ready to talk publicly about the iOS 9 release. It mentioned a few features and also confirmed an iOS 9 release date for September 16. September 16 was yesterday.

Yesterday, Apple released the iOS 9 update for certain devices and I downloaded it to my various iPhones (iPhone 6, iPhone 5) and iPads (iPad Air, iPad mini 2) like many others.

The iOS 9 update is very similar to iOS 8, but don’t let that fool you. It comes loaded with new features big and small, and also offers several improvements to key components like the iOS setup process and iPhone battery life.

We present our impressions of the iOS 9 update to provide iPhone and iPad users with feedback on the update’s performance.
