WOW Demos
1. How to set up your new iPhone
A quick iOS setup Guide https://youtu.be/z1aLpndzGNU
19. Pick a payment card without unlocking
Apple Pay has transformed the way we pay for things - especially on the Apple Watch, where we can quickly choose a card just by double-clicking the side button. Just like Apple Watch, you can now double-click the home button while on the lock screen to bring up your cards on your iPhone, even if you're not in range of a NFC reader.
29. Make a six-digit passcode
Apple has always taken security seriously, and in iOS 9 it's beefing up one of the easiest ways to prevent theft: the passcode. Instead of the four-digit passcode that has been in existence since the beginning, Apple has expanded the passcode to include six numbers, raising the probability of cracking it from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in a million. Upgraders won't be prompted to change their old passcode, so if you want to take advantage of the stronger security take a trip to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > Change Passcode, then select Passcode Options once it's available and set it to 6-Digit Numeric Code.
11. Draw, make lists and format text in Notes
Apple has beefed up its Notes app in a big way in iOS 9. With last year's update, it was nice that Apple finally added rich-text support for using bold, italicized or underlined text, but now Notes might actually be an app we use to, well, take notes. Inside every file you'll see a gray plus sign just above the keyboard that opens a new menu of options; tap it and you'll be able to easily create a list, add a photo, change the formatting and even sketch a quick doodle. And when you're done you can even organize your notes into folders.
20. Navigate open apps more quickly
Apple has changed the way we multitask in iOS 9. Along with things like Split Screen and Picture in Picture on the iPad, you won't see a carousel anymore when you double-click the home button. Instead, Apple has designed a series of sliding cards to help switch between apps. But you won't be using it as much; when you open a link or tap a notification you'll see a new "Back to..." button at the top left of the screen; tap it and you'll be instantly transported back to the app you were just using.
23. Remove apps from deep Spotlight searching
Apple has dramatically improved the intelligence of our searches in iOS 9, adding a natural language engine and the ability to find content stored deep within apps. And it's all under your control. Visit Settings > General > Spotlight Search and you'll be able to choose exactly which apps you want to include in the search results.
Triple press the home button to access certain features.
Apple offers a wide range of accessibility features that make it easier for those with visual and auditory disabilities to use the iPad and iPhone. Among those is the ability to assign certain features to the home button after it's been triple-pressed. To do this, head over to Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut. You'll then see a menu of functions that you can choose to launch by triple-pressing the home button. These include VoiceOver (which allows your iPhone to speak what's on the screen), Invert Colors (which reverses the color scheme on your iPhone's screen), Grayscale (which strips the screen of its colors), Zoom (essentially a magnifying glass for your iPad's screen), Switch Control (lets you control your iPad with one switch or multiple switches), and Assistive Touch (creates virtual buttons on screen).
27. Search inside Settings
As our iPhones have gotten more powerful, the Settings app has become overloaded with so many switches and selections it can be hard to remember where they are. But once you install iOS 9 you won't have to blindly hunt through tabs to find what you're looking for anymore. Apple has finally built a live search field into Settings, so all you have to do is type a few letters and it'll start filtering through the hundreds of toggles and titles in an instant.
7. Enter proactive assistant
Back when iOS 7 launched, Apple changed the position of the search bar from its original spot at the left of the first home screen to the top of anywhere you are (accessible by pulling down on the screen). In iOS 9, Apple has rebooted the leftmost search in a big way. Now, when you swipe right on your first home screen you'll enter the Siri-powered proactive assistant, which offers a series of app, contact, location and news suggestions based on how you use your phone each day. For example, if you check your email first thing in the morning, it'll offer a shortcut to your favorite email client, and when you go to make your nightly phone call to your mom, her contact info will be front and center.
34. Upgrade without deleting your favorite apps
Back when iOS 8 was released, the relatively slow adoption rate was blamed on all those 16GB iPhones in the wild. The problem was that iOS 8 needed a hefty 4.6GB of free space to install, which many would-be downloaders didn't have. But rather than scramble to delete enough photos and apps to install iOS 9, Apple is helping this time around. For one, it only requires less than 2GB of free space, which should eliminate the upgrade problem for most users. And for those pushing maximum capacity, Apple has added a new feature that will automatically delete enough apps to properly download and install the new update, then put them back when it's all finished.
30. Quickly trash all in Mail
Finally! With each iOS revision, Apple has added little tricks and tweaks in Mail that help us navigate our messages faster, and there are a few in iOS 9, too. The first is a new Trash All button. Where you previously had to use wonky workarounds to trash everything at once, in iOS 9 simply hitting the edit button will let you clear out your Inbox with just a single tap.
15. Plan tomorrow's subway trip
If you're going to be traveling to one of the cities supported by Apple Maps transit directions, you don't have to wait until you get there to plan out your route. When you're looking at transit directions in Maps, you'll see a More Routes button next to the one suggested; tap it and then hit the Options button and you'll be able to set a date, time and method of transportation for your travels.
36. Use CarPlay without plugging in your iPhone
If you're lucky enough to drive a vehicle with Apple CarPlay integration, you're probably a little bummed that you need to plug it in each time you settle into the driver's seat. But that won't be the case for very long. The next generation of CarPlay will automatically recognize your iPhone when you enter your vehicle. It's not entirely clear whether manufacturers will be able to upgrade existing wired systems, but iOS 9 brings some good news for current CarPlay users too: Apple is opening up the SDK to car makers, so you'll no longer have to switch out of the CarPlay app to access your navigation system's main controls.
Tap the bar at the top of the screen to jump to the top of any app.
If you've disappeared down a rabbit hole of scrolling, it's easy to get back to the top of any page. When using any app, just tap the bar at the top of the screen where the time is display to scroll back up to the top.
8. Turn off proactive assistant
It might be one of iOS 9's premier features, but if you don't find proactive assistant useful, you can disable it by going to the Spotlight Search settings (in Settings > General) and flipping the Siri Suggestions toggle. You'll still be able to search by swiping right at the first home screen, but all of the app, contact and news suggestions will be gone, as will the app suggestions that appear below the usual pull-down search.
18. Fill your Wallet
Just like Newsstand, the Passbook app has a new name and a new look in iOS 9, and it's a whole lot more useful than it was before. You can add cards using the same method, but in addition to the boarding passes, tickets and gift cards it used to store, Apple's new Wallet app is also the home for your Apple Pay credit, debit and store cards, as well as soon-to-launch rewards cards from stores such as Dunkin' Donuts, Walgreens and Panera. And now Discover customers can get in on the fun, too.
13. Get public transit directions in Maps
Maps has made great strides since its melted Brooklyn Bridge days, and if you live in or frequent Baltimore, Beijing, Berlin, Chicago, London, Mexico City, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Toronto or Washington it's about to get even better. When iOS 9 launches, those cities will include full transit information built right into Maps, including routes, directions, transfers and times. It'll take some time before it stretches across the world (or even the US), but it's a great start.
50. Split View
Multitasking on our tablets has always come down to the ability to quickly switch between apps, but Apple is improving it in a big way in iOS 9. While working on your iPad, just swipe from the right edge of the screen to bring up the new Slide Over feature, which lets you browse a second app inside a skinny panel. And with the iPad Air 2, you can pull the window further to enter Split View, letting you run two apps simultaneously, side by side. Split View is where iPad Pro really shines, To activate it, swipe left from just right of edge of the display. A scrolling list of app icon tiles lets you pick which app you want to access. Tap the one you want to enter a mode called Slide Over. This presents supported apps over any other app and allows you to quickly use the secondary app then dismiss it.
17. Customize the News app
No matter what you like to read, chances are you do a lot of it on your iPhone. And now Apple has given us a better way to do it. Among the new apps in iOS 9, Newsstand has been replaced with News (and your Newsstand mags have been moved into an ordinary "Newsstand" folder). But News is very different from the app it's replacing; inside you'll be able to create a personalized feed of headlines from hundreds of sources around the web, from major publications to specialized blogs. Apple will even curate the day's top stories for you. Much like Apple Music, you'll be able to pick your favorite genres and sources, and the app will learn and offer "For You" suggestions based on what you read. But if you want to give it some help, you can always edit your feeds in the favorites tab.
Picture in Picture
None of the new multitasking features are obvious, but Picture in Picture is the easiest to stumble upon. Play a video in a supported app, then press the Home button to leave the app and your video shrinks into a mini player and doesn't stop. There's also a new "two boxes and an arrow" icon on video players that support PIP. Tap it to continue watching your video within that app, or leave the app and take your video with you. The Picture in Picture window follows you from app to app until you disable it, only going out of focus when you double click the Home button or swipe up with four fingers to switch apps. You can move the PIP around the iPad's display, although it's limited to the four corners for now. Activating the on-screen keyboard will push the PIP up so you can type, and you can even tuck the PIP out of view temporarily by pushing it off screen. Tap the PIP at any point to view playback progress along the bottom, switch back to full screen, play/pause the video, or close it. You can also pinch to shrink or expand the size of the PIP, and the iPad Pro supports the largest version of any iPads. Picture in Picture works on iPad Pro, iPad Air or later, and iPad mini 2 or later. The only hitch here is that video apps have to opt-in to support it. Built-in apps like Safari, Videos for iTunes movies and TV shows, FaceTime, and Podcasts just work, but your own videos in Photos and music videos from Apple Music won't. Third-party apps like HBO NOW and Hulu are my favorites to use for Picture in Picture. Netflix and YouTube haven't added support yet, but YouPlayer and Go Picture in Picture enable YouTube PIP on iPads with different approaches.

Open Pages. iPad Pro has 78 percent more display area than the 9.7 inch iPad. Create a document with a Template Ask the customer to type on the keyboard You can see that the display has enough space for a full-sized keyboard. The large display is ideal for creating documents OR presentations.
iPad Antireflective coating
Open a book in iBooks. The custom-designed antireflective coating reduces glare by 56 percent compared with previous ipad models. Tilt the display and poimt out the antireflective coating.
8MP iSight and 1.2MP Facetime cameras
Open the camera app. You'll love taking photos with iPad because you can use the Retina display as a large viewfinder to help setup your photos. Swipe through the camera modes The iSight camera captures stunning 8MP photos and 1080p HD Video. And improved face detection technology keeps more faces in focus. Swipe to Photos Tap the Switch Camera button to switch cameras.

Incredible brightness, deeper blacks, and more accurate colors. Point out how clear the photo is when you zoom in.
32. Remove unknown contacts and events from
Part of iOS 9's expanded intelligence involves suggesting things that might be useful to you, whether it's an event you haven't scheduled or a contact you might want to add to your address book. But if you're not too keen about your iPhone snooping through your messages, you can limit its access. Inside Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars you'll find a pair of toggles: Contacts Found In Mail and Events Found in Mail. Turn them off and it'll prevent any unwanted data from creeping into the suggestions you get.
24. Set a reminder about what's on the screen
Siri is great for setting reminders, but in iOS 9 it's using its newfound intelligence to do it even quicker. If you're looking at something on your screen that you want to be reminded about - whether it's a website, calendar appointment or point of interest - just tell Siri to "remind me about this" and it'll scan the page for the relevant information and add it to the Reminders app.
37. Disable Shake to Undo
Some people might not even realize it, but Apple has had an undo gesture baked right into iOS since version 3. In apps like Mail and Messages, all you have to do is shake your phone to undo your last action (and if you change your mind, just shake again to redo it). But if you don't want this function on your phone, there's now a way to disable it. Hidden inside Settings > General > Accessibility is a Shake to Undo toggle that will turn it off.
Use your iPad as a second monitor with third-party apps.
Sometimes one screen just isn't enough to get work done. You can set up your iPad so that it functions as a second screen for you laptop or desktop computer. Third-party apps such as Duet Display and Air Display, for instance, allow you to use your iPad as a second monitor. After installing the app on your iPad and desktop, connect the iPad to your computer to get started.
51. Watch a video while you work
Speaking of multitasking, Apple has added more than split-screen apps. When you're watching a video on your iPad, you'll see a new icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Tap it and your video will shrink to a small player that floats above your home screen and any other app you open. It's like a little taste of OS X right on your iPad.
10. Turn off character pop-ups while you type
Speaking of the keyboard, Apple has always featured a useful bit of animated feedback via pop-ups when you tap one of the keys. But if you've always hated it, you can finally turn it off. Just take a trip to Settings > General > Keyboard and toggle off the Character Preview.
El Capitan -
Tell customers running OS X Yosemite that OS X El Capitan is free and available right in the Mac App Store. With the upgrade, they'll get the newest apps and features, latest technology, and the most robust security and privacy features. You can also point out some features in this release: • The Photos app automatically organizes your growing photo collection and gives you beautiful ways to view and edit your photos. Now you can edit using tools in third-party extensions alongside the tools available in Photos — so you can create standout photos, and even print them, all from one app. • An entirely new Notes app lets you can create stylized notes with formatted text, checklists, and media rich content, as well as add attachments to your notes with the Share button in other apps. • Maps in OS X El Capitan includes public transit information for select cities—so you can get directions, maps, and schedules right on your Mac. • Spotlight gives you results for new types of information, like weather, sports, web video, and more. And searching is also easier—you can search using the words you'd say naturally, like "documents I worked on yesterday." • Safari in OS X El Capitan brings new tools for better web surfing. You can keep your favorite websites pinned in your tab bar, mute audio from the Smart Search field, and easily stream video with AirPlay. • New features in Mail make it easier to manage your inbox with a swipe, work in full screen, and search for emails using natural language. Mail even suggests new contacts and events and helps you add them. • Working with multiple windows and spaces is easy. A streamlined Mission Control in OS X El Capitan arranges your windows in a single layer, so you can find the window you need. And Split View fills your screen with the two apps you choose—so you can work with them side by side, without the distraction of other open apps. • With Metal for Mac, you'll experience more fluid, richer graphics in games and high-performance apps. And system-wide performance gains in OS X El Capitan will make your Mac feel snappy and more efficient.
35. Use Health to have a baby
The Activity app has taken on a greater role in iOS thanks to Apple Watch, but Apple hasn't forgotten about Health. In addition to the myriad things it already tracks, Apple has added a new Reproductive Health tab, which lets women and couples keep tabs on basal body temperature, cervical mucus quality, menstruation and ovulation, among other things. Inside you'll find your data plotted on the same gorgeous charts, and here's a bonus tip: now you can rotate your phone to get a more detailed landscape view.
52. Turn your iPad keyboard into a touchpad
The last tidbit about iPad multitasking pertains to the keyboard. Along with a new shortcut bar that puts the controls for cut, copy, paste right at your fingertips, Apple has turned the keyboard into a new kind of virtual touchpad, letting you select text without needing to move your fingers off the keyboard. And if you use a Bluetooth keyboard, you'll find a full new set of keystrokes and an OS X-style app switcher.
16. Turn on low-power mode
There's nothing more frustrating than a red battery icon on your iPhone. But in iOS 9 it doesn't have to send you into a panicked search for an outlet. Much like Apple Watch, Apple has introduced a new Low Power Mode in iOS 9 that helps squeeze out every bit of juice remaining in your battery. Flip it on (inside the battery settings, which has moved to its own tab under Touch ID in the main Settings) and your iPhone's battery icon will turn yellow, indicating that it is conserving energy by reducing performance and networking activity, including Mail fetch, background app refresh, motion effects and animated wallpapers. And if you don't turn it on yourself, Apple will prompt you once your battery dips below 20%.
Zoom in on certain parts of the screen.
Using one of the iPad's accessibility features, you can create a virtual magnifying glass that makes it easier to view certain parts of the screen. To turn this on, head over to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Then make sure the slider is switched on.
26. Silence Siri
We all love Siri, but we don't always want to hear its mellifluous voice. In iOS 9, you don't have to. A new setting called Voice Feedback (under Settings > General > Siri) lets you choose when you hear an audible voice, with three options: always on, hands-free only (which will only allow audio when using "Hey Siri" or connected to a Bluetooth device) and an all-new option, control with ring switch, which will prevent Siri from speaking when your ring switch is switched to silent.
28. Boost poor Wi-Fi signals with LTE
We've all experienced that no-man's land between the time our Wi-Fi signal drops and LTE takes over, and Apple understands our one-bar pain. Way at the bottom of Settings > Cellular (past all the installed apps asking to use cellular data), you'll find a new toggle named Wi-Fi Assist. Turn it on and your phone will seamlessly switch to LTE whenever your signal is weak - even if the network hasn't completely dropped off.
31. Add an attachment to a message in Mail
We've always been able to insert photos and videos in our Mail messages, but getting other attachments required a few more steps. Apple has eliminated all of those steps in iOS 9 with the adding of a simple Add Attachment button to the text menu. Tap it and you'll be able to browse and attach anything that's in your iCloud Drive, just like you would if you were using a real computer.
21. Show iCloud Drive on the home screen
When Apple unveiled iCloud Drive as a key component in iOS 8, it seemed like it was finally bringing back iDisk, the pre-Dropbox drop box that let us quickly transfer files from our Macs to anywhere they needed to go. And it was, except for one major flaw: we couldn't access it on our iOS devices without going into a supported app first. Apple has changed that in iOS 9. Head over to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive and you'll find a Show on Home Screen toggle. Turn it green and you'll be able to access everything inside, just like in the iTools days.
14. Find nearby Apple Pay locations in Maps
When you go to search for a location in Maps, you'll notice a new series of buttons offering shortcuts to places nearby, like restaurants, bars, shops and hotels. It's a quick way to find something good to eat in a strange city — and if you've forgotten your wallet, you can tap on any suggestion to see if it accepts Apple Pay.
6. Quickly create a new playlist
While listening to a song in the Music app, tap the three dots in the lower-right corner of the play screen (the screen with the song's art and play controls). In the window that pops up, choose "Add to a Playlist." Now you not only have the option to add the song to an existing playlist, but to create a brand-new one, too.
Open a new app in a sidebar without leaving the app you're using.
While using one app, you can view a separate app in a sidebar along the edge of the display. Simply swipe in from the right, and a list of compatible apps will appear. Tap the one that you'd like to use, and it'll launch in a column alongside the other app you've already opened.
22. Find the new apps (and bury them)
With every new iOS update comes a couple more apps Apple thinks we all need. This year two apps that were previously available as App Store downloads have apparently risen to level of essential: Find My Friends and Find My iPhone. If you didn't use them before, however, you probably won't now, since there isn't much different from the old versions, save better Siri integration and a new Find My Friends Notification Center widget. Oh, and you can add two more apps to the list of ones you can't delete.
3. Send massive files with Mail Drop
With iOS 9.2, the Mail Drop feature from OS X finally came to mobile, letting you send files as big as 5GB through iCloud. When you try to attach an especially large file to an email — say, a long video — a pop-up window will ask if you'd like to send it via the cloud using Mail Drop. Handy!
4. Download songs for offline listening
With iOS 9.2, you can download songs and albums to avoid streaming them and using up data. To do this, first play a song, then tap the title at the bottom of the screen to pull up its card (that screen with album art and play controls). Next, tap on the three dots in the lower-right corner. On the window that pops up, tap the plus icon — this will add the song to your My Music section. Now just go to My Music, tap on the song, and touch the iCloud icon to download it.
2. Change emoji skin tones
You probably noticed that, a couple of minor iOS updates ago, Apple added a ton of new emoji to its already sizable collection. But did you know that many of these come in various skin tones? Try touching and holding on many of the hands or faces; sometimes a window will pop up with various skin-tone options, letting you further personalize your picture prose.
25. Search photos with Siri
iCloud Photo Library has given us access to every single shot we've ever snapped on every device we use, but with so many pictures to scroll through, finding things can be a pain. Now, Siri can help. Just ask to search photos taken on a specific day at a specific place or whatever criteria you've assigned to them, and it'll take you right to them.
12. Save an attachment to a note
iOS 8 changed the way the apps we use share data and interact with each other, and now Notes is getting in on it, too. Whether you're looking at a photo, reading an article or working on a document in another app, you can quickly save it to any of your notes (or create a new one). And if you lose track of what you've clipped, you can see an overview of every link and snap in the new Attachments Browser by tapping the grid icon in the lower-left corner.
9. Un-animate the keyboard
iOS users have struggled with the shift and caps-lock key since Apple changed its behavior in iOS 7.1, but iOS 9 should settle it once and for all. Now, when you tap the shift key, the keys will animate their case so you can plainly see the type of character you're going to type. But if the case-changing letters are too distracting, you can shut it off by heading to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard and flipping the Show Lowercase Keys toggle from green to white.
5. iBooks 3D Touch shortcuts
iPhone 6S or 6S Plus owners can use several 3D Touch shortcuts in iBooks. First, you can press down on the app icon for instant access to recently read books, or to search the iBooks Store. You can also use 3D Touch to peek and pop into pages listed on the table of contents, your bookmarks, or your notes.
