iOS 9 also brings a major update to Apple Maps by adding public transit routes, while Siri is now more contextualized. Essentially, the 2011 flagship is given a fresh cycle of new device features and capabilities. I have been running the public beta 3 of iOS 9 since its release, and there are few issues to report; a newer beta build, at this stage, seems unlikely to be released. According to Adam Mills of Gotta Be Mobile, Apple’s move is unprecedented as iOS support normally last three years, tops, but as it appears now the 4S is a different story. Hopefully, the glitch may mean that Apple is ready to launch iOS 9 this Wednesday in San Francisco, as it has promised to.
Another feature, Firefox Accounts, will allow users to transfer their Firefox browsing histories, passwords and tabs from their PCs or laptops to their iOS devices.
Specifically, applications authored for iOS 9 will optimize use of the 4S CPU and GPU and the direct result is “faster scrolling, smoother animation, and better overall performance”, GBM said. This no doubt signals something going on in preparation for the iOS 9 GM release date expected to go live for download on Wednesday about 12 NOON PST, 8PM United Kingdom time.
It’s not clear why messages are being sent out and then the iOS 9 download is missing.
Tech experts believe that Apple changed its stance on how its operating system is tested because more testers mean that there is less chance of bugs and glitches to occur in the final version. The company has a big launch event scheduled for September 9, where it will unveil its new iOS hardware such as the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPad Pro and a new Apple TV and will likely announce the official release of iOS 9 as well.
