Apple releases IOS 9 beta with caveats

Apple technophiles can now download a beta version of iOS 9 in advance of its release this fall, Apple’s first offering of an iOS preview to a hungry consumer base according to a The Market Business report. However, Apple warns it “may contain errors or inaccuracies and may not function as well as commercially released software.” Thus, those who wish to be on the vanguard should opt to install the potentially rickety software on a secondary non-crucial device.

In exchange for the risk comes healthy rewards including advanced features Apple debuted at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. The package comprises a sharper Siri, an upgraded Apple News app, and a Health Kit facelift among other gadgets.

The brave would need to visit Apple’s Beta Software Program website and sign up to download iOS9. Devoted Apple apostles can expect a more active and adaptive Siri that will execute more requests with more versatility. HealthKit, launched with iOS 8, is beefed up with new tracking capabilities for reproductive health, hydration and sun exposure.

And search functions have been improved that can conduct a deeper search even within applications. For instance, if you wanted to look up a book you were reading but couldn’t remember which app it was in, search intelligence has you covered.

Multi-tasking capabilities are added with the ability to watch picture within picture dual screens, such as a photo in one, and the other a video.

And much needed and continually improved upon power saving functions are have been engineered such as low power mode and other diminutive changes including notifications informing you when your phone is face-down on a surface even if a notification is received.
