iOS 9, Apple’s latest mobile operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, will be available as a free update tomorrow, Sept. 16th. If you’re skeptical on whether or not it’s worth it to upgrade, here’s a few reasons why you’ll love the new update:
Battery life is an important feature of any portable electronic device. While Apple generally creates incredibly energy-efficient products with exceptional battery life, all batteries depreciate over time. When it comes to Apple's line of iOS devices, there is some confusion as to how to get the longest possible usage out of your battery. A common misconception is that quitting apps that are running in the background will improve the device's battery life. In most cases, the process of opening and closing apps takes more battery and processor power than leaving the app running in the background.
We have come to rely on our smartphones and devices for many important aspects of our lives. We store our memories on them in the form of pictures and videos.

Luckily for Apple users, the Find My iPhone app is the first line of defense in recovering your lost device.

Apps couldn’t possibly limit communication more than popular messaging apps already have, right? Wrong. Yo is a new kind of messaging app that simply sends the word “Yo” to your friends.
That’s it - just yo.
