Although it was in the new iOS 9 introduced many new interesting features, users mainly call for better management and greater battery efficiency. Apple has worked on this area as well, and in iOS 9 it brings news to increase the battery life of iPhones and iPads.

Apple began to push developers to optimize their application coding towards lower consumption requirements. Apple engineers themselves have improved the behavior of iOS, in the new version the iPhone's screen will not light up when the notification is received, if the screen is placed face down, because the user cannot see it anyway.

Thanks to the new menu, you will also have control and an overview of what consumes the battery the most, how long you have used each application and what exactly the application is doing in the background. Some optimization methods even leave more demanding tasks in the application until the time when you are connected to Wi-Fi or perhaps charging. If the application is not in use, it will go into a kind of "absolutely power saving" mode to save the battery as much as possible.

According to Apple itself, iOS 9 will already perform excellently on existing devices, where the battery should drain at least one hour later without any hardware intervention. We will probably not see how the saving innovations in iOS 9 will work in practice until the fall. So far, according to the responses of those who are already testing the new system, the first beta version eats up the battery even more than iOS 8. But this is normal during development.

Continuity will now work even without Wi-Fi

The Continuity function does not need a long introduction - it is, for example, the ability to receive calls from an iPhone on a Mac, iPad or Watch. Until now, transferring calls from one device to another only worked when they were all connected to the same Wi-Fi network. However, this will change with the arrival of iOS 9.

Apple did not say it during the keynote, but the American operator T-Mobile revealed for him that call forwarding within Continuity will not require Wi-Fi, it will run over the mobile network. T-Mobile is the first operator to support this new feature, and it can be expected that other operators will follow.

Working with Continuity over the cellular network has one big advantage – even if you don't have your phone at hand, you'll still be able to receive a call on your iPad, Mac or watch, as it will be an Apple ID-based connection. We will have to wait for some time to see what the situation will be in the Czech Republic.
