Foreign media analysis: Top ten new features worth paying attention to in iOS 9

Every iPhone user is holding their breath, waiting for the arrival of the next generation of iOS system. Although a public beta version of iOS 9 was released on July 9 this year, the release date of its official version has not yet been determined. Only speculation points out that it may be released in mid-September. Therefore, in today's article, let us first summarize the intelligence we have obtained so far.

1) Memo

Apple's Notes app is about to become more advanced and play an even more important role in everyone's daily life. In addition to the addition of category titles, maps, and images, URL support is now officially available in the Notes app. This new version will provide users with multiple options for attaching image annotations or creating handwritten reminders - in short, it will be closer to a real notebook.

2) Map

Users can expect a revamped Apple Maps in the new version of iOS. When it was first released, Apple Maps had a lot of errors and even caused a lot of trouble for users. The reason was that Apple Maps at that time could not obtain sufficient and accurate reference data at the beginning of its launch. However, Apple has recently acquired a number of surveying and mapping companies, and it is expected that these measures will bring significant improvements to the Maps application. The Maps application will also provide a new public transportation navigation function, which I believe many users have been looking forward to for a long time.

3) News

Along with a series of eye-catching changes, Apple has also launched a new app specifically for news content. This app will collect news information from all over the world that users are interested in and aggregate them in one place. With the help of this app, people no longer have to browse various websites on the Internet to read the news they are interested in. As people use it more, this app will collect more targeted news and interesting things based on users' reading and attention habits.

4) Wallet

This Apple app handles all payment-related tasks and can also be used to win rewards such as discount coupons for Walgreens, MyPanera and Dunkin Donuts. When the iPhone is locked, users can directly access the Wallet app by double-clicking the home button.

5) CarPlay

CarPlay allows you to connect your iPhone directly to a wirelessly connected vehicle without any physical cables. This feature also provides the option to play voice messages through the car's audio system. By using the knob on the car's console, you can fully control your iPhone, including scrolling lists and even finding a specific location on a map. Some applications specifically for vehicle-related functions are also widely supported by CarPlay. Interested friends should of course not forget to explore more ways to use them by themselves.

6) Multi-tasking mechanism

The iPad's large screen size can finally be used to its full potential. With the slideshow option shown above, you can open a second app without leaving the current app, such as responding to a chat request while continuing to play a game and keeping both going at the same time. When watching a video, you can also shrink the video by long pressing the home button and dragging it to the corner of the screen - this way, you can open and operate other apps while continuing to watch the video.

7) Quick Input

Now you can use the new shortcut toolbar and new editing tools for text input. Multi-touch gestures can help you quickly select the right text entry. And when using the wireless keyboard that matches iPad, you can even use more shortcut key combinations.

8) Siri — More powerful than ever

Siri, the virtual assistant, has also been upgraded in the new iOS version, and its functions are more powerful than ever before. The tool is now 40% faster and smarter than before. It has a built-in automatic intelligence system that can track the most frequently used applications and identify when they are running. Based on the statistical results, it can even determine the next action that the user may perform without entering any prompt information.

9) Improved security

In Apple devices, the default password length has been increased from four to six in the new version. This change can make regular passwords more difficult to crack, because six digits means that it has 1 million possible combinations instead of 10,000 in the past. In addition, the new iOS version also implements two-factor authentication, which means that when you log in through a new device or browser, in addition to the password, we also need to enter a verification code to prove our identity.

10) Android data migration capability

To achieve this function, you need to first download the Move to iOS app, and then you can follow the prompts step by step to transfer your data from the Android device to the iOS phone. It can ensure that all personal data is correctly transferred, including message history, camera photos, videos, contacts, calendars, web bookmarks and other sensitive information, and all synchronized through a secure channel. In addition, it will also retain a set of application libraries. For all the applications you have installed on your Android device, this library will select the corresponding free versions and recommend users to download them-and those paid applications will be added to our purchase list as recommended items.
In addition to the functions mentioned above, iOS 9 also includes more new features worth paying attention to. The most important point is that the original iOS 8 required 4.58 GB of free space during the software update process, but this time we only need to keep 1.3 GB of space to upgrade to the latest version. There is still a vast world in iOS 9 that is worth our careful exploration. We also hope that users who are still using Android products can learn about the new features of iOS 9 through this article and try to migrate to Apple's latest system platform.
I believe that everyone is waiting for the official release of iOS 9 like me, and everyone must have their own reasons for upgrading to the new version. Please share your most interesting iOS 9 upgrade results in the comment section, we look forward to your valuable opinions.
