16 Side-by-Side Photos of New Features on iOS 9 Show How Your iPhone Will Change

Apple unveiled iOS 9, its new mobile operating system, at the annual developers' conference Monday. While the new OS won't be released in beta form until July (and a final release in the fall fall), it's available to registered developers — who are, of course, posting their discoveries to reddit and Twitter. We added iOS 8 screenshots for side-by-side comparisons that show some of the key changes coming when iOS 9 goes public.

There's a lot you should be excited about. In a few months, we'll see improvements to the Notes, Maps and Alarms apps, as well as updates to Siri, the keyboard (finally!) and search tools.

2. Swipe to the left for a new search screen, just like in iOS 6.

3. The Notes app got a major upgrade. 

4. The keyboard has a small but crucial update. It shows capital letters and lowercase letters so you know if the shift key is on. It fixes a problem a lot of people complained about.

Your menstrual cycle and sexual activity are now part of the Health app. But don't worry, you'll have to upload that info manually; Apple isn't watching you in bed.
