    Introduction

    Whether youre new to iOS and need a primer to the platform, or are a veteran iOS user and want to explore new iOS 9 features, this book will fill you in.

    The past two major updates to iOS have been major. iOS 7 was a massive reimagining of the iconic iOS interface, and iOS 8 enabled developers to extend iOSs capabilities in ways that were previously available only to Apple.

    But it wasnt all beer and skittles. Users threw up their hands in frustration over the bugs, inconsistencies, quirks, and battery issues. The once-simple iOS had grown in order to compete with Googles Android, but in the process had ended up with many of the same sorts of problems.

    With iOS 9, Apple is taking a step back. New whiz-bang features have taken a backseat to stability, performance, and efficiency fixes. Apple promises that iOS updates will be as much as 72 percent smaller, that the battery will last at least an extra hour, and that the whole experience will be smoother and faster.

    But that doesnt mean that iOS 9 has nothing new. Theres a new system font, San Francisco, borrowed from the Apple Watch. New Intelligence features make your device smarter. The much-maligned Newsstand has given way to the News app, which gives you a new way to keep up with your favorite media sources. Even the humble Notes app has received a major revamp. And the way a two-fingered tap now turns the keyboard on an iPad into a trackpad for text selection is subtle, but brilliant.

    iOS 9 gains even more dimension on Apples new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus with the new Peek and Pop features that will change the way you use iOS. And the new giant-sized iPad Pro will be exciting to try, especially with the new Apple Pencil stylus and Smart Keyboard.

    iOS 9 is in the running to be the best version of iOS in years, thanks to how it fixes many annoyances while adding power and efficiency.

    Whats New in iOS 9

    iOS 9 brings dozens of new features, but most are not immediately obvious. Heres a quick look at the most notable new features, with links to relevant discussions.

    Intelligence

    Intelligence is an umbrella term for new iOS features intended to predict what you want to do or know next:

    • Proactive Assistant: The marquee feature of Intelligence is Proactive Assistant, which tries to anticipate what youll do next. For example:
      • If you connect headphones to your device, iOS 9 will suggest what you were listening to last time your headphones were plugged in (see ).
      • After you enter the subject line for an email message, Mail will suggest contacts who have received that same subject before.
      • iOS 9 will scan your email for airline and restaurant bookings, and offer to create calendar entries from them.
    • Phone: If you receive a call from someone who isnt in your address book, iOS 9 will guess, based on searching your email.
    • Siri: Sporting a new Apple Watch-inspired look, Siri can now search for photos and videos. You can also use it to make reminders about what youre currently looking at, such as a Web page in Safari, a location in Maps, or a message in Mail or Messages. See .

    Tip: The minimum hardware for running iOS 9 is an iPad 2, iPhone 4S, or 5th-generation iPod touch. Performance should be equal to, or better than, iOS 8, but not all features are available on older hardware.

    • Spotlight: One newer devices, you can now activate a Spotlight search not just by pulling the Home screen down, but also by swiping right on the first Home screen. On newer devices, Spotlight now can jumpstart a search with Siri Suggestions, which can include frequent contacts, commonly used apps, nearby places, and news items .Siri Suggestions provides tappable icons for things you might be looking - photo 4Siri Suggestions provides tappable icons for things you might be looking for.

      New things that Spotlight can search for include sports scores, stock prices, and weather forecasts, and Spotlight even performs calculations. You can also call or message a contact directly from search results. Third-party developers can integrate apps with Spotlight, so you can look for content within apps.
