iOS 9 with Trusted Wi-Fi, Rootless and compatibility with many iPhones, iPads or iPod Touches will be launched by the Apple company this year for users. In the following we will discuss everything that is currently known about the future version of the operating system for iDevices, it will bring us a multitude of interesting news that you will love.
Even if you may not like everything you read, you should know that Apple has not yet completed the development of the operating system for its terminals, so it remains to be seen what else it has in store for us.
Introducing iOS 9
The presentation of iOS 9 will take place on June 8, 2015 during the opening keynote of WWDC 2015, those from Apple then going to announce part of its secrets together with those of OS X 10.11. On June 8, Apple will make a preliminary presentation of iOS 9 along with some of its functions, the most important of which will be revealed in the fall, along with iPhone 6S si 6S iPhone Plus.
The iOS 9 presentation will be broadcast live by the Apple company on all its products capable of playing a video stream either through an application, a TV channel, or a web browser. To find out all the details that the Apple company will present, I am waiting for you on iDevice.ro on June 8 to discuss all these news, but also to reveal to you everything that you will find new in the future version of the system operation.
iOS beta 9 1
iOS 9 beta 1 is the first version of iOS 9 to be released by Apple for application developers for the iOS platform, it will be available on the night of June 8 or in the morning of June 9. This first beta version will be made available to application developers for the iOS platform through the portal dedicated to them on the Apple website.
In this idea, you will not be able to install iOS 9 beta 1 through iTunes or the Software Update system, OTA Update, in those days, official iOS 9 will be released later. For now, it is not known if iOS 9 will be able to be installed by users who do not have UDIDs registered with Apple, but considering that iOS 9 will be publicly tested, anything is possible.
iOS 9 with San Francisco font
iOS 9 will have a font specially created by the Apple company, called San Francisco, it was developed for the Apple Watch with the idea of making it easier to read information on its small screen. Because the font is suitable in the idea of offering a major change for iDevices, the Apple company thought of offering it to users to give them the feeling that they have something new.
The font will be implemented as standard in iOS 9 by Apple, and there will be easy options for modifying it and the way we can view the information, but don't expect too much. Apple has modified all its native applications to implement this font, so it may be necessary to modify some of the third-party ones after the release of iOS 9.
iOS 9 Apple Maps
For iOS 9 Apple has prepared some interesting surprises dedicated to Apple Maps, the American company intending to implement a guidance system for public transport routes, a localization system inside buildings and not only that. In order to be able to offer these functions, the Apple company started to create its own database with information on locations, robots being used to map the interior of buildings.
Separately from all this, for Apple Maps the company Apple has also developed an augmented reality system, plus another Street View module, but these are still under development in Cupertino. In this idea, it is not known if they will be ready for official release until the fall of this year and they will certainly not be presented during WWDC 2015.
iOS 9 on iPad
For the iPad, Apple has prepared in iOS 9 a system that allows the viewing of two applications on the same screen of our tablets, which can be repositioned to our liking. The Apple company thought of a complex system for resizing applications in the interface of the iOS operating system, so it is possible that this function will not be presented now by those from Cupertino.
If the new function of iOS 9 for iPad will not be presented now, then there is a good chance that it will appear in the fall of this year, or maybe towards the end of the year, in a possible iOS 9.1.
iOS 9 Rootless, Trusted Wi-Fi, iCloud Drive and user accounts
iOS 9 Rootless, or the death of the jailbreak, is an advanced security system created by the Apple company that restricts administrators' access to application data and various other functions of the operating system. Basically, an administrator will no longer have full access to the system, he will no longer be able to control any function at will, Apple creating the function to "protect" us from malware, but it could be a big problem for jailbreak.
iOS 9 Trusted Wi-Fi is a system that will simplify the process of connecting to known access points, the use of a password no longer being necessary in these situations, the interconnection being made through a system not yet revealed. Moreover, for terminals unknown to certain access points, Apple intends to improve data encryption and data transfer methods.
iOS 9 iCloud Drive it will mainly bring performance improvements regarding data transfers, Apple transitioning its servers from IMAP to those based on its own software. Moreover, Apple will also implement improved methods of securing data transfer, so that they cannot be intercepted.
Regarding user accounts, Apple intends to implement a system similar to those of OS X or Windows, which will allow us to offer the tablet for use by other people. Each user will have their own account with their own applications and data, access to them will be done, most likely, with the help of an Apple ID, but we will find out more details on June 8 from the Apple company.
iOS 9 Force Touch
As you probably already know, the iPhone 6S will have Force Touch implemented, that is, its screen will be able to distinguish between light presses and strong presses, controlling various functions that will be available in iOS 9. The Apple company has worked on a series of novelties for users focus on productivity, so that in certain applications we will be able to control some functions by the type of pressing we will do on the screen.
From the introduction of PINs in Apple Maps and to the selection or manipulation of texts, the Apple company has prepared a series of interesting novelties that it will make available to us and will only show from the fall. Separately, third-party applications from the App Store will be able to benefit from these novelties through APIs, but it will take time until the developers decide to use them.
iOS 9 keyboard and iMessage
The iOS 9 keyboard is going to be improved by the Apple company, so we will have an improved Shift button that will correctly indicate when it is pressed or not. Moreover, Apple intends to make more buttons visible in landscape mode to offer more options to those who write and edit a lot of text on the iPhone 6 Plus, for example.
For the iMessage application, in iOS 9 we will have an improvement in the speed of sending messages, the possibility to see reading confirmations for group conversations, but also the option to disable reading notifications for certain contacts. Practically starting with iOS 9 we will be able to decide which contacts can see read notifications and which cannot, the function being requested by users for a long time.
iOS 9 and compatibility with the old iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch
One of the important points of iOS 9 is the compatibility with iPhone 4S, iPad 2 or iPad Mini, for these terminals it is rumored that the support will be disabled when iOS 9 was to be launched. However, the Apple company has a different opinion and has decided to continue allowing the installation of the latest versions of its operating systems on these devices.
The performance of the terminals should be much better in iOS 9, the Apple company specially developing this version of the operating system for its old devices. Apple engineers have been working for over 1 year on optimizing the operating system to run as smoothly as possible on old terminals, so everything should be as well as possible.
iOS 9 stability and performance
As I told you before, the Apple company thought iOS 9 to have the best possible performance, but not only on the old terminals, but also on the terminals launched until this year. Moreover, for iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus we will have the same great performances as we have in the case of the launch of each new iPhone, but for now it is not known what increase will be offered compared to iOS 8.
If we are still talking about iOS 8, I must tell you that Apple is trying to forget the problems it had last year with this version of the operating system, iOS 9 being much more stable. Apple engineers were given the mission to test iOS 9 as well as possible to offer it without various operational problems, so users should have the best possible experience.
iOS 9 release
The launch of iOS 9 will take place in the fall of this year, but until then Apple will offer developers of iOS applications various beta versions of the operating system, they being tested during the summer, until September. In September, the official version of iOS 9 will be released, which anyone will be able to install in their own terminal using iTunes or the Software Update system.
On June 8, iOS 9 will be presented and don't forget that on iDevice.ro you will find all the details!
