iOS 9: Expected New Features, Specs & Enhancements


The next major version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 9, is already in the works at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino. We don't have many concrete details on iOS 9 yet, but rumors suggest the update may focus more on optimization and stability improvements rather than major design changes and new features. 


The next major version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 9, is already in the works at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino. We don't have many concrete details on iOS 9 yet, but rumors suggest the update may focus more on optimization and stability improvements rather than major design changes and new features.

It may seem like Apple will have a hard time marketing an iOS 9 update that doesn't come with the flashy additions we got in iOS 7 and iOS 8.

don't expect iOS 9 to go entirely without new features. There are some rumored iOS enhancements in the works that could be released in the next operating system update, including transit directions, indoor mapping abilities for Maps and split-screen multitasking for iPads, and some minor improvements to Siri to make the iPhone version look like the more colorful Apple Watch version.

Transit options are said to be coming to Maps in iOS 9, with Apple providing directions that include bus, subway, and train routes for the first time since Apple Maps replaced Google Maps.

The much-anticipated split-screen multitasking feature may also be included with iOS 9, allowing iPad users to open two apps at once or two versions of the same app. This would let a user open two side-by-side Safari windows or two Pages documents on their iPads, for example. Windowing options are said to include 1/2, 1/3, and 2/3 views.

WWDC will likely see the debut of HomeKit, Apple's home automation platform. A dedicated "Home" app within iOS 9 may accompany the launch, giving HomeKit users a central location to add new HomeKit-compatible devices, group devices by room, and control them.
