“It may have come to your attention that there’s a fresh version of iOS in town,” David Nield writes for Gizmodo.
“But aside from a font change, what’s different about this new edition of Apple’s mobile OS?” Nield writes. “To help you navigate around iOS 9, we’ve listed all the tricks that it can do that were beyond the capabilities of iOS 8.”
1. Get public transit directions
2. Read the news (via the new Apple News app)
3. Access iCloud more easily
Twenty more things you can do in iOS 9 that you couldn’t do in iOS 8 here.
MacDailyNews Take: Snap poll: Which font do you prefer, iOS 9’s San Francisco or iOS 8’s Neue Helvetica?

Any font as long as apple offers an option of CAPS on the keyboard. I can barely make out the new keys. Apple’s 20-somethings should be required to wear my eyes 6 hours a day. It may improve their sensibility.
One thing that you cannot do in iOS 9 which anyone could do in older iOS is transferring of apps from the iphones / ipads to mac for backups. Apple has convieniently removed the feature and did not even bother to inform the users when iOS 9 was released.
San Francisco. I like that it has slightly more space between the letters.
I’ve always liked Ariel and Helvetica, but welcome any improvement, however slight.
