Top 5 BEST iOS 9 Features!

2015-06-12
Apple just dropped iOS 9 and while it wasn't a massive overhaul there were some pretty awesome improvements and here are five of the best now this isn't part of my top 5 but Apple finally updated iOS you can tell whether you're type in an uppercase or lowercase now iOS 9 wasn't a massive overhaul by any means but true multitasking may have just saved the iPad now before I continue in Timmy flips out and yells at a screen I know bro Apple did not invent this and in fact it's very similar to a certain Microsoft product it was absolutely needed some people like iOS some people like Android some people like Windows some people like Milhouse but the fact of the matter is as a fan of tech I want each platform performing at the absolute highest level because that creates competition which is a win for all of us but diving a little deeper into multitask and it starts with slide over which at its core is very basic if you're browsing in Safari you can quickly slide over something like messages or a Notes app complete that task and then get back to your business from there and unfortunately this is only on the iPad air 2 you can go a step further and have two apps open and active at the same time now because this is a beta it's still very limited to the amount of apps that are supported but the idea here is down the road you're gonna be using Tweetbot on one half of the window Safari on the other and you're doing two things at the same time where I will give Apple credit though is even though this is a beta it's been smooth as hell whether you're resizing windows or jumping between apps it's been a very enjoyable experience lastly Apple is going back in time and getting everybody jacked up about picture-in-picture and I don't know honestly if I've ever used that in my life and that essentially is gonna allow you to keep a video plane on the screen on a smaller scale where you can then move it around you can semi almost hide it which I'm not sure why that's a thing but for whatever reason if you want to be pumping out emails and have some YouTube playing in the background now you can now next up is something that might be a little bit boring but I was genuinely excited about it because I use it all the time that is a complete overhaul to the Notes app so now for example if you're in Safari you can tap the share button that's gonna allow you to add attachments whether that's pictures maps URLs or documents you can now instantly save that into your notes there are also now integrated checklist that does exactly what it sounds like it does whether it's something simple like grocery list or to-do list that is all built-in right to the Notes app not an about shoe but when it comes to handwriting or drawing I am not very good and that's with a pen or a pencil so the thought of doing it on an electronic device just completely throws it out the window and I think chicken scratch would be an upgrade but if you're not like me and you do enjoy drawing or scribbling you can now do that with an ax notes app so doodle to your heart's content now next up is an improved Syrian yes I know Google now is better in pretty much every way shape and form in Siri but she's trying and in iOS 9 she's a little bit smarter so now for example you can say something like Siri show me pictures from February 6th or Siri remind me about this when I get to my car now instead of just swiping down for search apples going back in time again where we now swipe left but instead of just search we now get intelligent recommendations whether it's contacts nearby places apps you just downloaded and even the latest news taking it one step further though there will now be predictive actions and what I mean by that is say you're getting a call and you have no idea whose number that is but maybe you talk to them through email you have that number in there it's gonna give you an educated guess at who might be calling and that is definitely a cool thing from there there's weird things and questionable things like if you plug in your headphones it's gonna give you some recommended music but for me I want to choose what music I want to listen to so we'll just really have to see over time and as the beta improves and the final version comes out if that actually comes to being useful now last step is almost a hidden feature because by default you're not gonna see this or you might not even ever know about it but if you use iCloud Drive and you go into the settings you can actually toggle on an enable iCloud drive to show up on your home screen and from there get access to your folder but for me this is a welcomed addition because in terms of file management that is something where Android has always been superior to iOS so now it's nice to be able to have some control over your files now last up is not only improvements to iOS that's gonna give you longer battery life but a much needed low-power mode so Apple claims you're gonna get one extra hour of battery life and that involves nothing on your end that has all done in the background and through the operating system but on top of that there is now low-power mode which is gonna extend your battery life even further so this is gonna conserve power by reducing network activity mail will not be pushed so you will have to manually the background app refresh and downloads are disabled and then motion brightness and even network speed might be reduced just to save battery so overall not a crazy overhaul but some much welcome additions let me know your favorite with a comment down below definitely make sure to smash that like button if you enjoyed the video and subscribe if you haven't because there's a lot more content on the way including iOS a iPhone 6s and just a whole lot of awesome tech this is Jonathan and then I will see you guys later
