Apple just announced iOS 9, the next iteration of the operating system that drives and powers Apple’s mobile devices, like the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

Although iOS 9 focuses mainly on making its current features more powerful and improving the stability and performance of iOS as a whole on all devices, Apple has brought some significant changes via iOS 9 that are worth noting.

As we’re sure you want a simplified digest of the features (TL;DR), we’ve composed a list of all of the greatest new features you can expect from iOS 9 that Apple has publicized:

New Features in iOS 9:

1. A new News application that can be tailored to your personal news/blog interests

2. An improved Notes application that accepts text formatting, images, smart links, sketches, checklists, and other interactive content

3. An improved Maps application that gives you transit directions, walking distances, and the ability to see what’s nearby with Yelp-like discovery

4. A new Wallet application that stores your Apple Pay credit cards/debit cards, store loyalty cards, boarding passes, coupons, and more

5. CarPlay now works wirelessly with your car to provide music, notifications, and much more

6. Siri just became smarter with an Apple Watch-style interface and the ability to search for things on your iPhone more effectively, perform more personalized actions, and more intelligent responses and features

7. An all-new start screen next to your Home Screen with shortcuts to your favorite contacts, applications, SpotLight, Siri, news, and what’s nearby

8. Plugging in headphones or speakers now instantly displays music controls on your Lock Screen

9. Caller ID improvements now suggest who may be calling you when you get that random number on your Lock Screen

10. An all-new low power mode is now available to save your device’s battery when it’s getting low

11. Developers now have access to even more APIs to make third-party applications even better on iOS 9 devices all across the board

New Features in iOS 9 Designed Specifically for iPad

1. All-new multitasking experience with redesigned App Switcher, side-by-side applications, and slide-over quick reply

2. New video experience allowing you to have picture-in-picture multitasking so you can watch a video while you write an essay or surf the Web

3. An improved QuickType keyboard with text-editing tools, like cut, copy, paste, and text-formatting tools like bold, italics, underline, and attachments

4. An improved text editing experience with two-finger swipe gestures that let you position the cursor where you want it

Improvements to iOS That Aren’t Really New ‘Features’

1. iOS 9 can make your iOS device last up to one whole hour longer than with iOS 8 or earlier installed on it

2. iOS 9 OTA (over the air) updates have been made much smaller to improve storage space problems on earlier versions of iOS (iOS 9 is only 1.3GB OTA, while iOS 8 was 4.58GB)

3. iOS 9 has been given improved animation fluidity, responsiveness, and performance due to fine-tuning performance with the CPU and GPU, especially with Metal

4. iOS 9 gains improved security with six digit passcodes and two-factor authentication

5. Apple now provides an app to easily migrate your data from Android devices to iOS devices for those making the switch
