Apple has opened their beta testing program pass developers to the open public. With it’s new Apple Beta Software Program. Beware though your truly testing out unpolished software. So I would not recommend it to your daily phone. I ran my testing on an iPhone 4S. iOS 9.0 has many smaller updates but nothing to stand out. So what’s new……
Siri:
Under Siri options the”Voice Gender” is changed to “Siri Voice.” Now you have the power to change her accent. She also has a fancy new voice animation.
Now listed separately under your settings. You now have a Low Power Mode option. This is such a long time needed feature. It’s no surprise how iPhones handle battery power. From the test I’ve ran. It really does work well.
Apple’s take on Flipboard and other News Reader apps. It’s on your phone much like other apps you choose to use or not. It works but once you pick the story. It’s really a glorified web story. You might else we’ll go to the website. For me I’ll stick to using Twitter for news.
Multitasking now uses cards. Feels less snappy but that could be the phone. Passbook is now Wallet. With Photos you now have a Selfie, Screenshots and Hidden tabs. With the Camera app you can not (at the time) use the volume button to capture. On Music you can listen to higher quality on cellular and also use Genius on your music library.
All and all there are some neat touches. Once the next release comes out. We shall have a update post on it.
