iOS 9 release date, features and news ( iOS Assistance )
It's the company's latest software project, available to download just ahead of the release dates for iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPad Pro and new Apple TV, all revealed during September 9's keynote.
iOS 9, and iOS 9.1 beta for testers, has improved stability, a smaller download size and legacy phone and tablet compatibility. That older iPhone and iPad you have works with this update if it runs iOS 8.
New iOS 9 features consist of redesigned built-in apps and a few new ones. There's more multitasking functionality than ever for iPads, while 3D Touch and motion wallpaper are coming for new iPhones. That will make new rose gold iPhone 6S color really pop.
iOS 9 release date
The official iOS 9 release date was announced at Apple's iPhone 6S launch event date last week, and we can now tell you when it'll launch: tomorrow, September 16.iOS updates are typically available to download one or two Wednesdays before an new iPhone release date, so September 16 was a lock a week and a half ahead of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus launch on September 25.
Sure, a public beta has been available to everyone since July if you signed up for iOS 9 testing, and to fee-paying developers right after WWDC. They're the true beta testers, three months ahead.
But the three-month wait has been a good thing for most people. iOS 9 betas versions were buggy and unfinished, and few of the best operating system features don't launch until the final version, anyway.
The best part is that, although the iPhone 6S price is going to be expensive as always, the iOS 9 update will be free to download and install when it does launch.
