Can I download and get iOS 9?
iOS 9 is in it's beta state and a developer preview has been made available to the developers for the testing so that the operating system and apps can be made ready to take full advantage of the feature. If you have a capable device which can run iOS 9, you can visit developer.apple.com.
If you're going to download iOS 9 for your device, we recommend you make a backup. However, to be able to get your hands on the beta seed of iOS 9, you need be a member of Apple's public beta program the update is basically meant for the developers to squirrel out any bugs.
Apple has always been consistent on releasing the updates in a particular pattern, which has mostly between the dates 15-20th september. Until then, apple has only called the date to be around "this fall".
As far as we know, the devices running the iOS version 8, can. And so can the following devices:
- iPad Air 2
- iPad Air
- iPad 4
- iPad 3

- iPhone 5
- iPhone 4s
- iPod touch 5
How will I get iOS 9?
On the day of the official release, you'll receive a notification on the update icon, where you can just like everyone else, can download the update in the traditional way. But if you prefer it transferring it into your iPhone after downloading it on your Mac through iTunes.
Siri & Search
I notice an improvement in Siri. Is it just me?Not just you. As part of Apple's ongoing efforts—which in part involve the awesomely code-named JARVIS engine—the company claims Siri has become over 40% more accurate over the last year alone. Also, the error rate has been reduced to what they claim is an industry-leading 5%, and speed has been increased by 40% as well.
Yes! Just like you could speak to Siri as if it was a person, you'll be able to type to Siri as though you were writing to a person.
So, "What's the weather in Cupertino tomorrow" will be similar whether you say it or type it.
How exactly am I typing to Siri?
Remember that old Spotlight screen that used to live left of the main home screen? The one that disappeared with iOS 7? Well, it's coming back. It'll have a microphone button, so you'll be able to use voice if you want to, but you'll also be able to just start typing right into the text box.
Beneath the search box are Siri suggested Contacts, Apps, and Nearby locations. Beneath those are Siri suggested News items.
Nope! There are likely still significant context collision and data privacy issues surrounding a Siri application programming interface (API).
What we'll be getting, though, is a Search API.
