Apple iPhone 4S to get a new life with iOS 9

Apple is changing its software upgrade policy to focus and maintain quality. The tech giant is all set to unveil the next operating system platform, the iOS 9, at the September event in 2015. The iOS 9, codenamed ‘Monarch’ will breathe new life into older Apple smartphones and tablets, making the iPhone 4S and iPads workable as before suggests a report by 9to5Mac.

The iOS 9 update has heavy under-the-hood optimizations that will revert the laggy issues faced by the present iOS 8 releases.  Apple is also working on OS X 10.11, which is codenamed Gala and will also be heavily optimized for performance and compatibility.

The report lists new features for iOS 9 and OS X 10.11

‘Apple’s broader and deeper quality assurance testing includes stricter stability and polish guarantees before new features are officially added to iOS 9 and OS X 10.11. We reported that iOS 9 is expected to include the Apple Watch’s new San Francisco typeface as its system-wide font, while a new Home application for managing HomeKit devices, split-screen iPad app views, and an upgraded Apple Maps application with mass transit directions are also in the cards. As for OS X 10.11, we are told that Apple has realized that annually adding new features to the mature Mac operating system is more challenging than with iOS, so 10.11’s upgrade list may be slimmer than iOS 9’s.’
