Apple Broke A New Record With iOS 9

Didn’t think so. The look and feel of my phone didn’t really change at all when I upgraded to iOS 9.

It seems that iOS 9 has picked up plenty of steam, with over half of iPhones and iPads having updated already.

In 2015, users are bestowed with the latest iterations of both the competing mobile operating systems by Google and Apple.

It’s likely that iOS 9.1 beta 2 will release to developers at any time, probably within the week. With proactive search capabilities, better voice recognition and a wider range of knowledge, Siri would appear to be much stronger with iOS 9, reports Neurogadget.

The beauty of low power mode is that, with the exception of automatic email downloads, your handset still works.

This might be fixed by heading into Settings and open Contacts, click on Groups and choose to “hide all contacts” then switch back to “show all contacts”. Disable as many apps that don’t or shouldn’t be accessing to the Global Positioning System , like the Dictionary app. Why on earth does it need to know your location?

Other viable suggestions include setting Auto-Lock to one minute, turning off any extraneous sounds, such as the keyboard clicks, using headphones instead of the built-in speaker when listening to music, turning down the screen brightness, eliminating Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not using them, and exciting all email, calendar, and contacts accounts to “Fetch”.

With iOS 8, Apple finally enabled widgets (albeit within Notification Center). Definitely not. Remove the ones you don’t use on a daily a basis. Likewise Location Services for apps that engage it in the background. An iTunes backup to be more specific. The OS release also brought a zoom effect whenever you entered and exited a folder of apps. The only downside is your iOS experience may suffer a little. Apple reckons it will fix this issue for good in a future update, so you’ll have to carry on with iOS 8 until then. It’s completely free of charge and it will simply make it easier for you to transfer all your data from one side to another. So checking your signal quality, and adjust the iPhone settings accordingly, can often pay dividend. As of September 19, iOS 9 has been adopted by 50% of iDevices. An update that quickly followed caused even more issues.

The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus have a nifty new feature called Live Photos.

Now these recent app cards are placed so close to each other that you have to tap and scroll to find out which is which, before you go to the app of your choice.
