Apple Announces Big Upgrades in iOS 9

Posted on Jun 26th 2015

Apple has finally released a beta version of its highly anticipated iOS 9 software update and iPhone 6 and iPad users will immediately benefit from it. Although the full version won’t be available for download until Fall 2015, there are plenty of things to be excited about.

The iOS 9 update will have significant modifications while introducing new features to your iPhone and iPad devices, to enhance user experience.

Here are a few items:

Longer Battery Life

Apple’s entire operating system will be streamlined to the point where key apps and other features won’t require as much battery usage with the iOS 9 update.  One way to maximize your phone’s longer battery life is with the PhoneSuit Flex XT Pocket Charger, which will allow for you to charge your iPhone while on-the-go without missing a beat.

Improved Multi-tasking Capabilities

For iPad users, a new Picture in Picture, Split View, and Slide Over feature will allow you to complete tasks in shorter time. Also, the new keyboard shortcut commands are great for navigating between apps or using the search bar. You can get the best from these new features with a ZAGG Folio Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard Case and enjoy the new commands at your wireless fingertips.

Re-designed Transit Maps App

The new Transit Maps Apps allow for you to use public transportation so that you can get to that important meeting in the big city on time. While planning your trip, the app will display a view of bus or subway lines and stations. In addition, the Nearby feature will show the nearest places to shop and dine in the area!  Be sure to protect you iPhone while in transit with the PureGear HIP Case+ Phone Shield and Holster. The “HIP” offers a 4-in-1 protection system that allows for more functionality, convenience, versatility and protection while you’re en route to your destination.

Better Answers from Siri

With the new capabilities of providing a more intelligent and reliable experience, Siri will be more useful than ever. Your automated personal assistant will be more proactive by being able to search deep within your apps to retrieve needed information, search through your photos, and find your favorite music playlist.

Speaking of your favorite music, enjoy it or ask Siri any type of question with a pair of Skullcandy Riff Stereo Earbuds with Remote and Mic. They feature a hooked, in-ear design and the Mic1 system allows users to make and take calls and play/pause/control music tracks.
