From iOS 1 to iOS 9: How Apple's iPhone OS has Evolved


iOS 9 - iOS 9 brings you refinements at every level—from the apps you see on your Home screen down to the foundation of the system. iOS 9 is designed to work with 3D Touch in the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. It also includes new features such as an updated Notes app to support drawing sketches and adding images, a revamped Maps app with transit directions in select U.S. cities and a News app, which replaces Newsstand and displays news from sources such as CNN, Wired and The New York Times. Passbook will be renamed Wallet and will support loyalty cards and gift cards. To coincide with the introduction of the iPad Pro, the iPad family will gain new features like Slide Over and Split View for enhanced multitasking; Picture in Picture to watch videos while in other apps; and shortcut support (cut, copy and paste) for wireless keyboards. iOS 9 improves battery time (up to one hour) and offers a Low Power Mode, a six-digit passcode for added security and Android migration.

The progression of iOS has been a steady drumbeat of new features that often felt inevitable. Apps; multitasking; and even cut, copy, and paste all seemed to have come late to the game compared to the competition, but in each case Apple took its time to ensure that the solution it offered matched its own high standards and was designed for future growth. That has brought us to a point where future feature improvements aren't as dramatically clear as they used to be.
