There are also some important new features, such as a picture in picture function and split-screen capability to enhance multitasking by enabling two apps to operate side by side. The new operating system also has a new two finger swipe movement that makes text editing easier.

Usability has been enhanced by the addition of another hour of battery use, as well as a low power mode that increases battery life even further. In addition, iOS 9 updates will take up considerably less memory. This means that 16GB devices will be able to install the new operating system. Apps will be removed during the update process and automatically reinstalled when it is done, meaning many legacy phones and tablets will not go out of date, which is nice.

Coupled with Siri, this new feature will enable users to set general reminders, remember appointments and even automatically remember what audiobook they were listening to.
