iPhone 5 iOS 9 Release: 5 Important Details

In June, Apple confirmed an iPhone 5 iOS 9 update for the fall. And as we’ve pushed deeper into the summer, we’ve learned a whole lot about the update’s features and release. With a launch rumored to be just weeks away, we want to take a look at the most important things to know, right now, about the iPhone 5 iOS 9 release.

The rumors leading into WWDC 2015 were spot on. Apple did, in fact, have an iOS 9 update up its sleeve. At its key note, Apple ran down many of the iOS 9 update’s key features and it also attached a vague fall release date to the operating system. In other words, it was a repeat from last year’s WWDC and iOS 8.

As we’ve pushed away from June and WWDC, we’ve learned a lot more about Apple’s plans for iOS. We’ve seen new iOS 9 features emerge thanks to the iOS 9 beta and we’ve just recently got a read on the iOS 9 release date. And that has many iPhone 5 users excited.

The iPhone 5 iOS 9 update was confirmed in June and it will be the device’s third major update. It’s not clear if Apple has plans for the iPhone 5 beyond iOS 9 though with the iPhone 4s getting Apple’s latest update, there’s a good chance the iPhone 5 will get iOS 10.

With an iPhone 5 iOS 9 release getting closer, we want to take a look at five important details regarding the update’s release. Keep these in mind as we push deeper into the month of August towards the iOS 9 update’s inevitable release for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
