Apple could use iOS 9 to take a little stop and look back a bit. The evolution of Apple's mobile operating system has been great since iOS 6, with many visual and functional changes, and although the road is still very long, since both iOS and Android are still in their infancy taking into account the possibilities that the new hardware offers, it seems that you already consider that it is time to look back a bit, see what you have and improve it, thus turning iOS 9 into a system that "just works", as iOS used to be. If we could write a letter to Apple with our wishes, this would be mine.
Improve notification center
Widgets have been a great novelty in iOS 8. They have turned our notification center into something really useful, with information accessible from anywhere, even from our lock screen. But what about the notifications themselves? Notification center is too impractical. A list of notifications, the vast majority of them without the possibility of interaction, which must also be eliminated one by one to be able to clean it.
Real interactive notifications, which allow me to see the content of the notification and even answer it without opening the application, grouped by application and with the possibility of closing sections so that visually everything is more organized would be great. And being able to delete all notifications at a stroke? That would be fabulous.
Siri accessible to everyone
Siri is the eternal student who never finishes graduating. I think he's old enough to demand that he finally get the title of "Virtual Assistant" for which he needs to be really useful. Give access to third-party applications To be able to use Siri it is essential to do so. Being able to send a WhatsApp or Telegram through Siri, or start Spotify is something so basic that it is still not understood that it is not possible at this point.
Remodeling of the Health app
The possibilities that iOS offers with its health applications are enormous, both for professionals and users. The iPhone 6 has countless sensors that they use to monitor our activity, to which we must add the Apple Watch, but the Health app still leaves a lot to be desired. Inaccessible menus, confusing and inaccurate information for a function in which Apple has bet a lot. There are many similar applications that with less information offer it much better, Apple must improve it from the base.
Use more localization
We are getting used to the applications and the system itself using our location permanently. It is no longer necessary to use the GPS so the battery consumption has decreased a lot, but it seems a little used function at the moment. ¿Why not vary the system options depending on the location?
It would be very good if the bluetooth was activated when arriving at the car, and deactivated later, or that when we connected to our WiFi network the lock key was deactivated, or the Do Not Disturb mode was activated when arriving at work. These are just a few examples that in addition to improving the system would help improve battery life from our iPhone or iPad.
Improve Mail yes or yes
The native iOS mail client needs a comprehensive overhaul. In addition to multiple problems with Gmail or Exchange accounts, it has become outdated not only in its aesthetics, but also in its functions. Almost any email client on the App Store (half a decent one) is better than Mail, and Apple should not tolerate that.
Integration with cloud services, and not only iCloud Drive, but Box, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive to name a few, it is basic. So is giving it a new, more modern and user-friendly aesthetic, instead of that "universal" white background. Of course, solve all the problems you currently have as well.
Performance and stability improvements
iOS 9 should be a stable system again, in which the applications do not close without coming to mind, and in which we do not have to restart our iPhone because something happens that causes the system to malfunction. Apple also has to reconcile itself with users of "old" devices, who are very pissed off because its still excellent iPhone 4S that worked very well with iOS 7 is now a worse, slower iPhone with much less battery life because of iOS 8. Will it succeed? Let's hope so.
