Supercharged Siri

iOS 9 is going to bring tons of new features to the iPhone 5's virtual assistant known as Siri. Now many of you might actually have a reason to use Siri and its features. 

Apple claims that Siri is 40% faster than it is on iOS 8. That's huge. One of the biggest complaints we've had about Siri is its speed and inaccuracies and it looks like Apple has been working to solve both. 

Yes, Apple also claims that Siri is 40% more accurate than the Siri on iOS 8. That's absolutely huge and it could motivate tons of iPhone 5 users to start taking advantage of the personal assistant. There's more though.

iOS 9 features improvements to Reminders, a feature that we use all the time on the iPhone. Now, if you tell Siri to remind you about something, it will remind you about what you are looking at on the iPhone 5's screen.

Siri can now also search for photos and videos and it can even  look for photos in a place or of a certain person. And finally, Home Kit in iOS 9 will allow users to better control a connected home with automation that includes controls in Siri. That's going to be big for a lot of people.

    You shouls correct the portion about Metal, Mr Mills. Metal optimization is only for 64 bit devices (5s, 6, 6 plus, A7 and A8X ipads)

    The older 32 bit devices don’t support metal. Iphone 5 is a 32 bit device running on an older A6 chip, which does not support metal.

    IOS already allows for a pass code more than 4 digits. You have to turn off ‘simple passcode’ under pass code settings. It will then allow any complex alpha numeric or plain long numeric pass codes
