EDITION OF WWDC.IOS9,WHICH IS EXPECTED THIS YEAR AND WILL RUN ON A NUMBER IOS
DEVICES,INCLUDING IPHONES AND IPADS,WILL COME WITH A HOST OF NEW FEATURES THAT
WILL ADD A WHOLE FANTANSIC DIMENSION TO IPADS AND IPHONES.
NOW WE ARE GONNA LOOK AT THE NINE MOST IMPORTANT FETAURES OF
IOS 9.
More Powerful Siri
iOS digital assistant ,Siri has been criticized in the past
for not being effective enough.That will change with iOS 9 in which Siri will
be not only be reminders,but will also try to be proactive and give you
suggestion what to do next ,based on its own experience of your behavior.
Improved Search
The search button has been boosted more.The search screen
now not only features the search box,but also contacts you interact with
most,the apps you use most generally or are likely to use ,nearby places of
interest and local news based on your location.
Split View
One of the most in –demand features from iOS users,split
view will allow the user to run two apps next to each other on the
ipad,allowing you work on them at the same time.But unfortunately this feature
will not work on ipad 2,fuelling rumour that apple might be preparing iPad Pro
later this year.
Picture in Picture
If you are on a face Time call or watching a video ,just tap
the home button to shrink the video screen into the corner of your display
.Open another app and start working-the video will keep playing in the corner.Terrific for those who do not want to miss their TV shows or Telecast at work.
News
One of the biggest surprise of the iOS 9 launch was the
announcement that iOS would be coming with its own news app,which will get
latest news from the prime news sources and present in a spectacular layout
.Users can also personalize and share the news.Shades of Flipboard?Perhaps.
More Powerful Notes
The apple notes add gets a significant boost in iOS 9.Users
will be able to not only type in notes,but also add images ,maps,list and if
the fancy strikes them,even sketch on the app.You can also add attachments to
notes.Notes will be synchronized all the iOS and Mac OS devices using iCloud .
Better Keyboard
The keyboard on iOS 9 will come with a Shortcut Bar above
the normal alphabets.This will contain formatting shortcuts and editorial
functions(bold,copy and paste) and can also be customized with tird party apps.
The cursor on the iPad can be controlled by moving two fingers on the
screen,and there is also support for keyboard shortcuts on attached keyboards.
Slide Over
Designed for the iPad ,this feature allows you to simply
slide open an application without leaving the one you are working on currently
.You can slide it back and return to your original app once you are done
.Perfect for task like answering mails and checking social networks.
Improved Battery Life and Security
iOS 9 claims that it will improve the battery life of iOS
devices by using its sensors to detect when a devices is in actual use and
accordingly adjust running process.It will also come to low power mode It is
claimed that the new measures will comfortably add an hour’s battery life to
iOS devices.iOS 9 will come with better security measures to protect the user’s
data and information .There will be factor authentication when you log in your
Apple account from a new browser or a device.And even the passcode that is used
to unlock the number of possible permutations and making it more difficult to
detect.
and and app for Android too!
In what was clearly a jab at Android.Apple also introduced a
move to iOS app that can be downloaded to Android devices.The purpose of the
app is simple –to help you move from Android to iOS device.The app transfers
your contact,messages,photographs,mail accounts and other relevant information
to your iOS devices and even suggest the apps you should download.
iOS 9 will be
arriving this fall and will be compatible with all iPhones after and including
4S,all iPads after and including the iPad 2 ,and all the iPad
minis.The good news is that the download will not be a big one –unlike iOS 8
which was a more than 4 GB update,iOS 9 will be 1.3 GB one.We can hardly wait.
