Apple’s iOS 9 rumoured to focus on stability and optimisation

According to industry insiders who spoke to fan site 9to5Mac, this year’s update to Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 9, will focus mainly on under-the-hood changes such as stability, performance optimisation and bug fixes.

The move comes amid constant complaints that iOS 8 is still full of bugs months after release, and features that don’t work properly – it’s been dogged by a series of high profile issues since it was released in September last year. Perhaps that’s why adoption rates for iOS 8 are somewhat lower than they were for iOS 7 at the same time in its lifecycle.

Apple went down a similar path before for the Mac – OS X “Snow Leopard” which was released in 2009, took a similar approach and focused on optimisation – instead of adding dozens or even hundreds of new features, and it’s consequently widely regarded as one of the very best versions of OS X ever.
