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.
