iOS 9 vs iOS 8


Apple has launched the latest update of the OS for its mobile and tablet devices .
iOS 9 is the latest update to its Operating System . iOS 9 is a quite different from the older version i.e iOS 8 .


There are many differences between the iOS 9 and iOS 8 .

Lets check out the transition in the softwares :


  • Siri goes proactive
          One of the major overhauls in iOS 9 can be found with Siri. The digital voice assistant has                   received a colourful facelift, but it's what's going on behind the scenes that is more interesting.
  • Battery performance
          In iOS 8, there is no clear battery saving mode. You're left to your own devices to turn off data,           Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc to try and conserve power.


  • Multitasking on 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.

  • App switching
          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.

  • 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.

  • 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 Maps gets transit data
         There's weren't any major changes to Apple Maps with iOS 8, just some minor tweaks here and          there. iOS 9 on the other hand brings a significant upgrade to the app in the form of Transit.

  • Support for older devices
         Usually with a new iOS release older Apple devices are cast out into the cold with no update in          sight, so it wasn't looking good for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.
  • 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.


  • Availability
          As with iOS 8 last year, you'll be getting the iOS 9 update this "fall" (probably September) for             free, but for the first time Apple will be launching a public beta this July -- allowing anyone to             sign up and try the latest software before its official launch.

Can’t wait 3 weeks for iPhone 6S? Pay Rs 1 lakh

It seems even a three-week wait for the Indian launch of the iPhone 6S and 6s Plus is too long for Delhiites, who are willing to pay big bucks to get their hands on the new Apple smartphones right now. Since the international launch on September 25, customs officials at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport have seized 180 of the phones — all to be sold in the city’s grey market for over `1 lakh each, sources said. “The seizures were made from different passengers and most of them were coming from Singapore or Hong Kong. One flyer was caught with 10 new iPhone 6S,” said a customs official at IGIA. Smuggled handsets are already on sale at Gaffar Market in Karol Bagh, the largest grey market for phones in all of north India.

Most Awaited : Star Wars Battlefront II

Star Wars fans got quite a treat earlier this week with a double dose of Star Wars media hitting store shelves. Along with the Episode III DVD, LucasArts also shipped Star Wars Battlefront II, the sequel to last year's Battlefront. Battlefront II, the sequel to the first team-based shooter set in a Star Wars universe, adds a few notable improvements, but doesn't stray too far from the formula that made the original game a big commercial success. You'll still take control of various infantry classes and vehicles as you fight for control of capture points on conquest-style maps. New space combat maps and playable Jedi represent some incremental improvements, but for the most part, Battlefront II treads familiar ground, which is great for Star Wars fanatics and fans of team-based online shooters. Space combat is arguably the best new feature in Battlefront II. The biggest improvement made to the standard vehicle-infantry combat combination is the add...
