IOS 9 Vs IOS 8

IOS 9 Vs IOS 8 features:

At the worldwide conference where developers were assembled, Apple announced a slew of features that will be coming near in future  Iphones and Ipads later this year.

I am sure you are curious about what new features you will get to see on your apple gadget, and also availability dates? don’t worry. Check out the below details.

Siri now proactive:

The major overhauls in IOS 9 can be found in siri. Digital voice assistant has received a colorful facelift,

Few things are going on behind the scenes that are more interesting.

The upcoming interface display content is a best way, and siri can now understand more wider range of requests on top of what was on offer is Ios 8. They showed number of examples during the keynote, which also includes  show me my photos from utah last august.

It's now apple's answer to Google now, with context sensitive information based on time and date and location.

Battery Performance:

In Ios 8, there is no battery saving mode option available. You’re left with our own device to turn off data, wifi, Bluetooth etc to conserve power.

This has been changed in Ios 9 with the introduction of a low power mode, which apple claims that provide 3 Additional hours of usage.

Ios 9 also improved general performance, which apple saying it gives you an extra 1 hour of full usage over  device running Ios 8.

Multitasking Ipads:

There are a few iPad-only new features incorporated into iOS 9. First up is the QuickType Keyboard, which adds handy copy, cut,  paste tools to the suggestion bar, along with access to the camera, attachments and formatting.

Use two fingers on the keyboard and it becomes a track pad, allowing you to easily select the text you want -- something which is a little tricky in iOS 8.

There's also 'Slide Over', 'Split View' and 'Picture in Picture', which provide a range of multi-tasking options.  The first two see two apps share the screen, the former just for a brief moment while the latter sees those apps sit side by side permanently.

If you're familiar with Samsung's top end smart phones you'll recognize picture-in-picture, which allows you to pop out a video into a floating window.

Switching Apps:

Apple added contact shortcuts to the multi-tasking pane in iOS 8, but the large app previews means it's difficult to see just how many apps you have running.

This has been improved in iOS 9, with app previews now appearing as stacked cards, allowing you to flip through open applications far more easily and quickly,while getting a better overview on just how many you have open.

Spotlight Search:

Apple's Spotlight Search on iPhone and iPad also benefits from the new and improved Siri, with app suggestions, keys contacts and other location and time specific info displayed on the main search page when you swipe left from your home screen.

You'll also spot videos in your search results, something which isn't available on iOS 8, which you can play without leaving the search screen.

Apple Pay:

Unsurprisingly Apple Pay has been given a boost with iOS 9, but a word of warning -- it's still only supported on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus (and Apple Watch).

Apple Pay on iOS 8 is compatible with a handful of US bank cards, but that support gets extended with iOS 9 to more providers including Discover,

plus the service rolls out to users in the UK too.

With iOS 9 you can also add store credit and debit cards, plus loyalty and reward cards too. These are stored in "Wallet", the new name for "Passbook" in iOS 9.

More free space:

There's good news when it comes to downloading and installing iOS 9, as Apple has reduced its size.

The iOS 8 over-the-air (OTA) update was a hefty 4.6GB download, which caused many users issues with space on their devices. Last year,

Apple had received a lot of flak from all quarters for the iOS 8 update taking up too much space for the install files.

The iOS 9 download is just 1.3GB -- which should be much more manageable.
