iOS 9 Release for iPhone & iPad: 10 Things You Can Count On

iOS 8.4 Release Last Major iOS 8 Update

You can count on iOS 8.4 being the last major iOS 8 update before the arrival of iOS 9. 

iOS 8.4 was rumored for months before Apple released it into its beta programs. We haven't heard anything about an iOS 8.5 update or an iOS 8.6 update which leads us to believe that Apple will cut it off at iOS 8.4. Not that we're complaining. 

If anything, we'd expect Apple to deliver an iOS 8.4.1 update to stabilize the software ahead of the iOS 9 release. An iOS 8.5 release would come out of left field. 

The iOS 8.4 release date is expected to land in late June after WWDC 2015. The update will introduce a brand new Music app and a new iTunes Radio. Its release is expected to coincide with the release of Apple's new Beats streaming music service.
