iOS 9: Here all the News

We provide you with a summary of the new features that will be available with the iOS 9 new operating system.

Management of storage memory improved.

We begin with the discussion of some new structural iOS 9 whose introduction will lead to a substantial increase in the memory of the iPhone and iPad. Indeed, after its first installation (which still require the usual space of 3.4 GB), the operating system will be able to download updates essential for the device on which it is executed unlike iOS 8 which installed everything, regardless from the terminal.

In addition, developers, thanks to the new Xcode 7, Apple will send no more pre-compiled code, but directly to the source, so that iOS 9 can install only the executable on the device the app and its updates: Indeed, today each app contains within itself, all the graphics and the portions of the UI necessary to carry on any terminal iOS.

Finally, if iOS 9 notices inability to install updates (can be automated by the settings) of the operating system due to lack of available space, automatically uninstall app how many will be needed to free up the space needed for the update and then reinstall them immediately after performing the operation. This big news will be especially appreciated by those who have a device with 16 GB of memory, as it will have a real breath of fresh air.

Proactive: Siri will anticipate the user’s needs, while respecting their privacy.

Another important novelty is the introduction of Proactive. The new feature tied hand in glove with Siri. iOS 9 is need to monitor the user’s habits, thanks to the demands that these hand you voice assistant. With a swipe from left to right on the home screen of iOS, you will enter the screen of Proactive, inside which contains links to the most-used apps, favorite contacts ( disappear from the renewed task manager ), the news which may be of interest to the user and information about the traffic on the routes of the daily routine. All information collected will not be sent to Apple, but retained locally on the user device to ensure the best possible privacy.

Over Slide, Split View and the trackpad function.

Some new software submitted for the New iPad Pro are available from the first beta of iOS 9 for iPad Air, iPad Mini 2 and 3, in a more evolved, for Air 2 and 4. I speak of mini Slide Over and Split View: the first functionality allows to combine two app momentarily, recalling the second (which will remain in a size of about 30% of the screen) with a slide from the right edge to the left. The second allows you to combine the two apps by running them together, keeping them at a ratio of 70/30 or dedicating both half screens.

The presence of Split View are on iPad Air 2 and Mini 4 is due to the presence of 2 GB of RAM that allows both to run two apps without slowdowns. Finally, tapping with two fingers on the keyboard, a pointer appears on the screen that will allow the selection of the text in a more convenient than implemented so far. The trackpad function, present in the first beta for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, will be available only in the new 6s and 6s Plus.

Email attachments from multiple sources storage.

Finally, you can attach all kinds of files to an email in iOS 9, using the native app. By plugging in a prolonged in the message body will access the menu classic black copy / paste. With a light tap on the right arrow, you can scroll to the ” Add attachment ” .

Selecting it, it will get a pop up with iCloud Drive, from which you can attach necessary files. Selecting, instead, ” position “, you can choose different sources than iCloud Drive, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Box.net and similar services. Of course, the functionality must be provided by the developers of the app Remote Storage. The same feature was implemented in Safari to load files via the form of websites.

New app: News, Notes and Wallet.

iOS 9 will bring with him three app. The first News, replaces newsstands and work much like Flipboard. A team at Apple will take care to select news of the greatest interest to the user, however, can freely add the titles that most interest them. The news will be rewrapped and made more accessible to the mobile experience, but currently the service is only available in USA. Wallet replaces Passbook, adopting the features and managing more efficiently points cards, hotel reservations, air and public transport, as well as payments through Apple Pay.

Finally, notes evolves: the notes will no longer be saved to iCloud via IMAP, but directly to iCloud Drive. You can enter checklists, images, and you can even draw in real time. By the way, Apple has provided an extension for Notes menu Sharing in iOS app, so you save all that is of interest to you within the app.

Under the hood.

Apple has also worked hard to improve iOS 9 under the hood or on secondary aspects. First of all, it has been eliminated, as in El Capitan, the process discovery and replaced with the old mDNSResponder, to render more reliable WiFi connections. Continuity can also be used in 3G and WiFi only, while we have introduced a new energy-saving mode, borrowed from watchOS.

Activating it, you can reduce device performance and avoid apps that perform background operations in order to preserve the remaining energy. Finally, there are new wallpapers, return to Home Sharing (disabled with the release of iOS 8.4 and Apple Music), support for WiFi Assist (which allows you to use the 3G / 4G network in case presentations are wireless network weak) and a built-in Ad Blocker in Safari that, though it may please some users, will cause many problems to independent sites that stand alone on ads from ad networks.
