The iOS unveiling at the WWDC did not wow me with its new features and I must say that I am perfectly fine with that. Having read the rumors, I was not expecting there to be a slew of 'revolutionary' break-throughs. Despite this, I am more excited about iOS 9 than any of the previous unveilings. Apple's focus on speed, stability, battery, and efficiency doesn't bring the glamour. Those things are difficult to demo on stage. But I truly believe that once installed on our phones, it will lead to noticeable smoothness and reduced frustrations. If Apple truly has squashed many of the bugs, improved the experience flow, etc.....this will be very welcomed and appreciated by me. What they have done should not be understated. To reduce the update from over 4GB down to 1.3GB and to improved the battery life by an hour is no small task.
In summary, I am thrilled about iOS 9. While I enjoyed seeing the various things unveiled on stage yesterday.....it is the things we didn't 'see' yesterday that have me more excited than ever.
