The feel
The new software is a lot faster and smoother than its earlier versions. The design is also pretty advanced with a new feature ‘Share Street’ , along with Control Centre, AirDrop for a smoother multitasking. In fact, the enhanced multi-tasking bar looks a lot like Android! In order to make your experience faster and better, unnecessary bars and buttons have been done away with. In its latest and most advanced version, the Control Centre lets you access all the things you urgently require with just a swipe.
Who can use it?
Anybody who has the following devices can upgrade to this version: iPhone , iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch 16GB, iPod touch 32GB/64GB, iPad 2, iPad with Retina display and iPad mini. Now that you one or more of these devices, you wish to initiate the upgrade, right? After you have backed up your device, check which version you’re currently using (iPhone 5, it is iOS 6.1.4; for older iOS devices, it’s 6.1.3) and start downloading (it’s completely free). But it would be better if you kept your curiosity under control and started with the upgrade a day later (September 19) as there’s bound to be massive pressure on Apple’s server today.
Exploiting the 64-bit processor
If you have either of these, you’re in for some major fun as the latest version is made to exploit the 64-bit processor for faster app launches and games. This technology is touted to be the next big thing that can revolutionize the way we work and use our phones.
