Improved volume system. Switching between totally muted and just vibrate is a pain in the ass. If I want my phone to still receive notifications but be completely quiet (switch toggled to 'silent/vibrate' position) I have to navigate all the way to settings>sounds>vibrate on silent to change whatever I need to change.
Bring back do not show messages/texts on lockscreen from unknown contacts.
Why?
Because if you use a two factor authentication password request via text message it will show on your lockscreen giving someone full access to your stuff.
Unless I'm missing something? cause the feature now seems missing

I agree with this. Try copy and paste selected text on ios!!! This is one area where android wins hands down.
Also, multiple clipboards so you can copy multiple text without losing the previous copy. Such a simple concept and apple either can't be bothered with it or can't get it right
If you're worried about this, instead of having them send the code as a text have it sent to your iOS devices specifically. The notification will make you unlock your device before you can see the code
That will require more CPU than the iPad has. Until the iPad has the resources it needs, just use Guided Access.
I wonder if iOS 9 will have a dark theme a la Eclipse/Nightmode.
apple watch app, watch os, enter password when d/ling apps from iOS a la Bloard, and Yosemite as an option all indicate: maybe.

On the 6 and 6+ models, if you turn the phone sideways, you get arrow keys on the right side of the screen.
iOS devices are more than powerful enough to have multiple user accounts lol And if you're taking CPU performance (which isn't really important in multiple user accounts), the iPad Air 2 act silly outperforms the new retina MacBook.
I agree completely I have 15GB w/ rollover. I watch Netflix and HBO Now on cellular, why can't I download an app???
I realize this is not what you are looking for, but I don't allow any previews on my lock screen. You never know when an unexpected message might pop up on a locked phone
I never thought about what that option would be used for (do not show messages/texts on lockscreen from unknown contacts). Now it makes sense to me...
I want macrumors to fix what they just did to the forums look. WOW this is horrible.
I would love for Sir to be opened up further for developers. I'd really enjoy saying "Hey Siri, start my car for me."
Wish list for iOS 9
1. More options for do not disturb -
2. An iOS app for pdf files ! Why do we have preview on the mac and no preview type app on iOS . I understand that we can use third party apps but when every other app has been duplicated on both OS X and iOS why not preview?
3. Outlook and the new app from Readdle (spark) have shown new and interesting ways to improve email . Both allow importing other files from iCloud drive and dropbox and its about time this was built into the native mail app on iOS
4. Improve reliability of third party keyboards, nearly a year later third party keyboards are still unreliable
5. iOS 8.3 and 8.4 (beta) are definitely better in terms of stability but I think the overall reliability of iOS has dropped significantly as new features are introduced
6. Ability to change the toggles appearing on control center- I would like a data on/off , hotspot on and off , and location services on and off. This is becoming more important as the settings app has become a convoluted mess !!
7. System wide dark mode
8. System wide battery saving mode
9. Safari download manager
10. Ability to increase text size in safari . I know safari has reading mode , but this excellent feature is present on the mercury browser app for iOS and greatly enhances the ability to read no mobile formatted websites on a small screen

One last rumor is that iOS 9 will be slimmed down to work on older devices. This means that iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users will actually be able to finally update their devices.iPhone 4S Support.
