iOS 9 vs iOS 8: What’s New in iOS 9
iOS 9 vs iOS 8 iPhone Search on Steroids | ||||||||||||||||||||
 | ||||||||||||||||||||
The new iPhone Search screen and Spotlight from any home screen are way better than Spotlight on iOS 8. Siri powers this search so that you can search for Sports scores, weather, stock prices, do calculations and quickly call or message contacts without using your voice. New search tools allow developers to build in support for searches to go deep into apps. A search for rhubarb crisp won't just look online, but it can look inside apps that support it to help you find something you looked at on your iPhone app. This will become more useful as developers add support for searching within apps. The new Search screen on the iPhone is one swipe away from the main home screen. Here you'll see relevant contacts, nearby places, suggested apps based on your routine and what's in the news based on local trends. | ||||||||||||||||||||

I’ll make this simple ios 8 sucked and ios 9 will be just or worse .. Nuff said

I disagree. This version of ios 9 seems to be bringing in some important optimization features with regards to battery life, note taking, and keyboard use. It also seems to bring in some other interesting feautures. The fact that you will likely be able to get this on an iphone 4s seems to be a gift from apple, perhaps in recognition of the ios 8 rollout issues. As usual though, I will reserve judgement until it is on all my apple devices. My iphone 6 never had issues with ios 8, but it degraded the performance of the ipad mini. As such, I would expect some speed recovery in ios 9 when installed on the ipad mini. Above all, that is what I would like to see.

iOS 8 was a big improvement for my iPhone 5. If iOS 9 works well, I will have a new battery installed, if it doesn’t, I will switch to an Android phone.

Nope. How about posting reasons? I can see your point if you’re using a lower tier device, but I’ve never had a hiccup and it just keeps getting better for me.

This update looks badass simply because of the battery saver and the lower storage needed to download the update iOS 9 is perfect for 16gb

No, you will not as long as you do it through Apple. If you do it through any other website it’s likely your phone will be bricked.

I love my iPhone6, but would like to see 2 important changes; 1/ add a removable SIM card slot for extra & private file storage 2/ add a simple “Back” button(both like the Android devices).
I do like the sounds of the coming changes with OS9.

This has been semi-added. If you click on a link while in an app there will be a back button present to return to that app. Same with text messages.

Also many apps support going back by swiping, left to right, edge to edge. It’s more intuitive. Also, you do have a removable SIM card tray. You mean SD card. Why not just get an iPhone with more storage? do you really want to be managing device storage and card storage and moving items back and forth all the time? If you simply need more storage for docs, pics, files, etc., why not go with a cloud solution? There’s plenty out there (aside from iCloud) that offer plenty of free/cheap storage.

With SD cards, you don’t move stuff back and forth. It’s storage.

Looks great! I love my iPhone 6 plus. Better battery life and knowing what case letters you are typing sounds good to me.

Avoid the iOS 9 beta at all costs. My iPod Touch (5th Gen) has become unable to use wifi, and I can’t restore it to an earlier backup because I need wifi to turn off Find My iPhone.

I have iOS 9 beta 3. I have all of my apps and capabilities. I am in love with the updated Notes, the Low Power Mode for the battery and even the maps app, which I originally dreaded (& I hate having to go into useless Yelp to find bars & restaurants nearby). The news app has virtually eliminated my need to go into Flipboard. I have not had any issues thus far with the beta. I’m excited for the full release. =)

I love it. No issues at all and it’s a big improvement on 8 but through small changes. Very happy !

Oh wow, ios9 is blessing us with features that have been available on android for years. As one who owns and uses both iPad Air and google nexus, I can honestly say the only perk I’ve seen to the iPad is the battery life. Otherwise, I am less than impressed.

Apparently I am the only one with a split keyboard, half on lower right and the other half on lower left, and have no idea how to fix it! Absolutely hate it! Does no one else have this problem or am I doing something wrong?

you can put the keyboard back by using one finger on each side to slide it back together or you can hold the button in the bottom right corner and press dock and merge

Go to Setttings/general/toggle down to Keyboard/switch on then off again. This should do it. It happened to me a few times but seems ok now.

If everyone really gets disgusted with Apple’s Microsoft Impression, call them and make their day! Take up their time! Make them back you up, and re-do you, over and over until they get their act together

It’s still not letting me install the update, you didn’t specify if you hold down the power button when the error pops up or when. Either way I tried it when the error popped up and before pressing install now and even when it said verifying update, but it’s still not working so yeah I need some help.

Problems I’ve had since downloading new IOS9 on my IPhone 5s
Old apps not deleting from device even though it shows they are which takes up space and still does updates to same.
Devices running slower
Apps not loading as fast as they use too
Adding find friends when I don’t use it
Having to change the cellular service due to charging without wi-fi
Since downloading IOS 9 1&2, There is a delay with the words I type in search engines
The message text box disappears at times when responding to a text message and just the recording part shows up I have to close out the text message app and sometimes restart the device before it comes back.
Many apps flick off in middle of something

Photos taken with os 7 lost the original filters and quality… they appear to have the filter on the roll, and when I open them, they show up without the filter that was used when taking them (not applied later).
Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to solve this?? i want my photos as I took them!!!
Also, I use a specific filter when taking photos, and it used to be set by default on the camera, now I have to chose the filter every single time I take a photo… annoying! HELP!

Just received my new ipad 2, and after going through setup, it went to install update. It has been “verifying update” for 3 hours now! My first iOS product, being an avid Android fan…and the size of the font to read the agreements?! I could have been agreeing to give away my first born for all I know! TOO TINY!
