For example, if you listen to music on your way to work, Siri is likely to suggest you use your favourite music app at the time you start your commute. If you’re an owner of a device that’s on the older side of the compatibility list, consider putting off the upgrade to iOS 9 until you get more information on how the new iOS performs on your device. You can also backup your iPhone by plugging it in to your computer and connecting to iTunes. The company promises your iPhone or iPad will be able to run an extra hour without charging once you upgrade, thanks to higher efficiency “across the entire operating system”. Moreover, it will also have a new font installed for the entire system.

Before you install iOS 9, be sure to back up your data just in case something goes wrong.

Fortunately, Apple learned from last year’s debacle, when the iOS 8 download required almost 5GB of free space. This means that if you prefer a native video editing solution that can handle 4K, you won’t have to go very far.

Make sure you have a good amount of battery life left. Apple will provide an OTA update, which can be accessible directly through their iPhone or iPad from the Settings menu, under the Software Update option within the General tab. Check out our full iOS 9 review. The method is completely up to you – just follow the applicable guide below. If you’re not near a computer, then you can try connecting to a strong Wi-Fi signal. The update adds multitasking support on iPad, so you can now browse Safari (or do anything really) whilst having Twitter docked in a side column. Click “Download and Update” to begin the process.
