Ondrej Holzman Apple will start selling the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus in the first countries on Friday, September 25. More than a week before that, however, it releases a sharp version of the iOS 9 operating system, which introduced in June. Today, the so-called GM version was released to developers, which usually coincides with the final version.
Good news came regarding iCloud storage plans. Apple has decided to make its current offering cheaper. Free will continue to provide only 5GB of storage space, but for €0,99 it will offer 20GB instead of the current 50GB. For apparently €2,99, 200 GB will be newly available, and the highest possible space, 1 TB, will no longer cost €20, but half as much.
Although today's keynote wasn't about computers at all, because the new iPad Pro and Apple TV got all the attention in addition to iPhones, after all, even Mac owners learned one interesting piece of information. OS X El Capitan, too introduced in June, will be released to the general public on September 30.
This fact was revealed by an email that Craig Federighi showed during a demo of the new features in iOS 9, connected to the 3D Touch display in the iPhone 6S. Like iOS 9, OS X El Capitan will also be available for free. In addition, all users whose Macs were running the current OS X Yosemite will be able to install it.
I've been waiting like hell for iOS 9, especially for the iPad Air 2 and multitasking. On the contrary, with El Capitan, I'll just wait, the first Yosemite was quite patchy and even if there are some new features, it really doesn't appeal to me...
I've had Yosemite since the beginning and I have to say that it's going very well, especially when it comes to saving with HTML5 when watching videos. But it has one flaw of beauty, it also happens that the video on YouTube flashes and creates various artifacts (it does this only occasionally, but in several beta versions).
and Do I have to back up the data, or will the system just reboot and the data will remain on the disk?
I recommend making a backup because you never know, but otherwise all data should be preserved.
I've had El Capitan in beta for a while now and it runs better than Yosemite's hot version :)
Am I understanding correctly that all iOS9 devices will have multitasking, or just the iPad Air 2 and Pro?
"Even though iOS 9 will run on the iPad 2 and any subsequent iPad model, you'll need an iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 2, or iPad mini 3 for Slide Over and Picture-in-Picture, and an iPad Air 2 for Split View.”

Of course, the iPad Pro and iPad mini 4, which were not announced at that time, are missing.
