iOS 9 Release: 5 Things We Learned in August

The iOS 9 release date is confirmed for the fall but Apple has yet to outline a specific date for its arrival. August was a busy month for the rumored iPhone 6s and Apple’s next iOS update and today we want to take a look at what we’ve learned about the iOS 9 release for iPhone 6s and more.

In June, Apple took the stage at WWDC 2015 to announce several brand new products including OS X El Capitan for Mac and iOS 9 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iOS 9 is iOS 8’s successor and it will be coming to the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 2, iPad mini, iPad 4, iPad 3, and iPad 2 this fall.

On stage, Apple confirmed a slew of iOS 9 details including the iOS 9 beta, several iOS 9 features, and the iOS 9 release date. The release date will land this fall though we still don’t have any official date from Apple. And we might not for at least a few more days.

As we inch closer to September, iPhone and iPad users are starting to get antsy. iOS 9 is bringing several new and important features. Among them, a hour long battery life boost for the iPhone and performance improvements for older devices like the iPhone 5.

Apple isn’t talking about the iOS 9 release just yet but we learned quite a bit about it in the month of August. Thanks to a series of credible reports and leaks, we have a pretty good read on the iOS 9 release date. And thanks to the iOS 9 beta, we have a pretty good idea about what to expect from its features.

With August coming to an end, we take a look at the most important things we learned about the iOS 9 release this month. Keep these in mind as we push into September.
