Apple took to the stage at WWDC 2015 to show off iOS 9, and with the unveiling of the new mobile operating system came the announcement about which iPhones, iPads and iPods will be able to get it when it’s released. Here’s a list of every Apple device that supports iOS 9: • iPad 2, 3, 4, Air and Air 2• iPad mini, mini 2 and mini 3• iPhone 4s, 5, 5c, 5s, 6 and 6 Plus• iPod touch (fifth generation)• The next generation of iPhones and iPads will come with iOS 9 preinstalled…

The Notes app for iOS has always existed as a utilitarian way to quickly jot down whatever comes to mind. It’s devoid of fuss, which is perfect for times when you just need to make a quick list, but the lack of features opened the door to other, better note-taking apps such as Evernote, Awesome Note and OneNote. But in iOS 9, Apple’s native note-taking application catches up to those feature-filled rivals from third parties – and if you don’t need a cross-platform solution, Notes might just become your go-to organiser. Formatting The most obvious change when you start to add text is formatting. You can finally adjust font size by selecting the title, heading or body – you don’t have a range of font point sizes to choose from,…

If you’re a regular user of iCloud Drive, Apple’s Dropbox-like storage solution for managing file syncing between your Mac and iOS devices, then your life is about to get a little bit easier. Apple has designed a standalone iCloud Drive app and bundled it within iOS 9, placing all of your iCloud Drive files in one easy to access spot. But, surprisingly, the iCloud Drive app doesn’t automatically appear on your iOS device’s home screen – it’s instead tucked away within Settings, and you’ll have to tell your iOS device that you want to see it. Besides that, it’s a pretty straightforward app. I spent some time with it while checking out iOS 9, and here are some quick tips on getting started. Turn it on I appreciate that Apple…

Apple’s My Photo Stream is an excellent way to manage and view your photos on all your devices. The automatic service syncs all your Apple devices using iCloud, meaning that your photos appear on your iPad, iPhone and Mac without the need to plug in a cable or send anything via email. You can view the past 30 days of photos on any device. In this tutorial, we show you how to set up My Photo Stream. My Photo Stream can be used without turning on iCloud Photo Library, which would allow you to share more photos but has an associated cost. 1. Create an iCloud account For Photo Stream to work you’ll need to have an active iCloud account. Usually you’ll create this when setting up a new machine,…

With specs to rival even some Macs, the iPad Pro has the potential to become a serious productivity machine. Even though it won’t be available until November, Apple has shared a lot of information about the design and the technology that went into building the device. Here’s what we know about the most powerful iOS device ever. The basics When and where will I be able to get it? The iPad Pro will be available for purchase starting in November on Apple.com/uk, in Apple Stores, and via select carriers and authorized resellers. Apple hasn’t yet shared a specific date or preorder information. How much does it cost? While no UK pricing has been announced, we can get an idea how much you’ll have to pay by looking at US prices.…

The only thing that’s changed is everything,” Apple said about the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus at Wednesday’s Apple event. That’s both true and untrue. The case looks pretty much the same, the screen sizes didn’t change, and the entry-level model still has a paltry 16GB of storage. But inside it’s an all-new iPhone with some impressive new capabilities. I got hands-on time with the new models, and even though the presentation didn’t blow me away, the new 3D Touch and Live Photos features deliver a delightful experience. Live Photos “What is a picture?” pondered Phil Schiller on stage. After more than an hour and a half of keynote, this wasn’t a philosophical debate I was excited about having. But he had a point: A photo is a…

1. Teach iOS your routine iOS 9 has arrived, and we’re enjoying its plethora of new features. In this article we’re going to walk you through some of our favourites, and help you to master the new features. We’ll start with a little something we call ‘Proactive’. This tries to stay one step ahead, always doing its best to work out what you’ll want to do next and then offer a shortcut to that behaviour. Ring your mum at a certain time each week? iOS will start placing her contact icon in your Search screen when the appointed hour approaches, so you can make the call with a single swipe (left from the first Home screen/pane, or downwards from any Home screen) and tap. Like to hit the tunes at…

Unlike Notes and Maps, Apple’s native Mail app hasn’t been given a makeover in iOS 9, but a few tweaks have been made that will make managing your email less of a headache. Plus, Mail reaps the benefits of iOS 9’s iPad multitasking features, which are game-changing on their own. Attachments The biggest change is the long-awaited support for file attachments. Now you can attach a document with a long press in the body of a message. Before, your only option to add files to emails was to insert videos and photos. You can also save attachments by pressing on the file until the share sheet pops up with a new ‘Save attachment’ option. You can save to iCloud Drive or other locations, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or another…

Five years after its launch, the iPad is growing up. The new iPad Pro, introduced at Apple’s media event on Wednesday, blurs the line between iPad and MacBook just a little more, with a 12.9in screen capable of running two apps side by side without either of them feeling cramped in the slightest. But as large as it is, the iPad Pro doesn’t feel unwieldy, even to me, an avowed fan of the iPad mini. We’ve learned from the iMac and the iPhone both that people love giant screens with tons and tons of pixels crammed on to them, and that’s what the iPad Pro delivers, along with performance that should let more people than ever leave their laptops at home. Thin and light The iPad Pro is only 713g,…

When you call “Hey Siri,” you want to know that your phone is actually listening to you. But with the new proactive intelligence in iOS 9, Apple’s personal assistant will start to anticipate your desires before you even have a chance to ask. That’s just one of the improvements announced at the latest Worldwide Developers Conference. Rather than adding a ton of new features, Apple has instead focused on refining the user experience. This time around, Siri can use your location, time, app usage and connected device data to forecast your needs. Several built-in apps have also either been given substantial updates (Maps, Notes) or replaced entirely with more exciting alternatives (Wallet, News). Plus, iOS 9 allows you to interact with two app at once on your iPad. The basics…

If more than one Mac- or iOS device-using person lives under your roof – or if you share your Mac with one or more people – using Photos in a family situation can be a complicated affair. Because you can’t share Photos libraries across a network, you quickly end up with multiple libraries (one for each Mac user account) and nobody remembers which pictures live where. It’s a nightmare; but fortunately, Apple has a solution. Meet Family Sharing Family Sharing enables you to create a special group that you invite family members to join. The end result is a shared album named Family that everyone in the group can access (and it can’t be shared with anyone outside the group). Family members can easily add or remove their own pictures…
