The Complete iPhone 6S Rumor Guide Revealed

Proactive Siri

Intelligence is key in this fast paced culture of ours. We need our phones to be smarter and to be proactive rather than reactive. In iOS 9, almost everything has become keener. Siri is back with a new look, but more importantly will be able to complete tasks before you even think about them. For example, actions based on your location might play your “work out” playlist for you, as you walk into your gym and plug in your headphones.

Dining out is even simpler. If you receive a notification for a reservation in an email, Siri will automatically add the reservation to your calendar. Siri will also remind you of the reservation and pull up directions the moment as you should leave based on traffic. All of this to make sure you make it to the restaurant on time.

Siri will also be able to sort through your recent emails, messages, and notes to find contact information. Upon receiving a phone call from a number you don’t recognize, Siri might find that same phone number in the signature of an email from Johnny Appleseed. Siri will suggest that it could be “Johnny Appleseed” calling. This feature could save you from answering a phone call from an unexpected person or simply save you the time it would take to create a new contact.

Battery Life

Battery life might be the biggest deciding factor when choosing a smartphone. iPhone battery life is remarkable compared to the competition, but still leaves room for improvement. Fortunately, battery life will be improved dramatically in iOS 9. iOS 9 will power your iPhone’s battery an entire hour longer than it did in iOS 8. Are you wondering how they will accomplish this feat? Apple surely won’t reveal any secrets, but it’s a feature we are ecstatic to see in the update, so we won’t ask any questions.

Even better yet, iOS 9 will include a new feature aptly named “Low Power Mode.” Have you ever sifted through your settings, turning off every bell and whistle including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and syncing schedules just to squeeze out some more battery life? I certainly have, and that is why I’m undeniably ready for Low Power Mode in iOS 9. Instead of going through all your settings attempting to turn off any unnecessary features possible to lengthen your battery power, Low Power Mode does it all for you. It even “pulls levers you didn’t even know about” extending battery life by up to 3 hours, which could be a lifesaver in emergency situations.
