At the annual WWDC in 2015 were presented for 9 account version of the mobile operating system from Apple. The software was well received and many intrigues, including the support of quite old gadgets, including the iPad 2nd generation and iPhone 4s. In this article we examine what constitutes a new platform from California, and how it behaves IOS 9 on the iPhone 4s, as well as look at feedbacks, real problems and opinions of specialists.
The System was announced in the summer of 2015 at WWDC. This iteration of the software platform from Apple has brought a lot of changes that affected mainly the internal system components with a minimum of visual changes. Was officially launched on the Apple Music service, has updated some of the standard programs, there are new opportunities for developers.
Many of the innovations disappeared under the hood. They met only those who are engaged in the development, but that they do not become less important.
One major change was the upgrading of the search engine. Spotlight was trained on the new chips, among which were: the ability to convert currencies and other values, the functions of the calculator, search, weather, news, music and the like. Unfortunately, many functions are limited geographically and do not work in Russia. Third-party developers have received specialized API that allows to integrate the functionality of their apps in the Spotlight.
New features have got standard web browser. Now developers can create blocker. Unlike AdBlock and similar solutions, ad blocker Safari not just hides it and forbids her to boot, what speeds up the Internet and reduces the level of surveillance by the contextual advertising.

Upgraded standard program for taking notes. If earlier it was a weak text editor, now it is a powerful tool akin to Evernote. The user can add notes, attachments, such as web links, documents, images, audio files, and much more. All attachments can be viewed in a special mode, and the notes now it is possible to scatter on folders.
There was a separate program for news, which doesn't yet work in Russia. Is a news aggregator from the Internet, designed to replace the missing "Kiosk". Many serious publications and independent editions were given the opportunity to post news in the system to Apple and get money for advertising.
Changes have been made to the mapping service from Apple. In addition to tighter integration with search and Siri, the service has the opportunity to build the pedestrian routes. Again, due to geographical restrictions, this feature is unlikely to work in Russia. Even the transport routes are still not adapted to Russian realities.
It Also introduced a lot of small changes, for example, the standard dialer has learned to look for rooms in the mail, and calendar there are looking for invitations and flights. Long-awaited search function for settings and power saving mode.
Visual changes worth noting a new menu of multitasking. It has lost of useful features, it has become less comfortable, but more attractive and adapted to the new displays 3D Touch.
During the presentation, the manufacturer several times emphasized that the new operating system designed with special attention to the code, and its performance is much higher. A lot has been said about the fact that the update is going to be good on battery life. For the first time for such a long period, Apple company acknowledged that both parameters are affected. And here came the long-awaited changes. As if in proof of this fact, the company announces that it will be iOS 9 update for iPhone 4s. The feedback on the system fell immediately after the release of the test version, and good.
It's the most wonderful time for a new system, because almost immediately opened public access to the test version, therefore many people instantly put his hand to the new platform. Including the owners of the old gadgets, which included iPhone 4s. It is worth noting that it was a pretty successful experiment – iOS 9 on the iPhone 4s. Reviews about this start already in the second beta was very positive – the device is "alive" eyes. Growing autonomy, and everyone was happy. It is important to note that this same wave of positivity has touched those who set iOS 9 on the iPhone 4s 8gb. Reviews read that the new installation system (with system cleaning and subsequent reheating) – the only thing that allowed them to set the program in automatic mode and without losing important data.
Unfortunately, as often happens with Apple, enjoy everything just before release. As soon as was possible to estimate the release version, it became clear that the system is not suitable for older devices. Already at the time of the release of iOS 9 GM for iPhone 4s reviews changed dramatically to the negative. Owners of all old devices like framed, and all who did not "roll back", was forced to endure the new "features" of the system.
This model of Apple smartphone was released in the distant (by the standards of technical progress) 2011. It was the first phone from California with a dual-core processor, and that was the reason for porting it to the latest version of the operating system. Gadget is still a kind of unofficial symbol of the iPhone, and smartphones in General. It's the most recognizable phone in the world but, unfortunately, hopelessly out of date. Update it to the latest version of iOS – bad decision, which for many turned into a regret.
The latest release is the list of supported devices. IOS 9 on the iPhone 4s and iPad Air 2 refreshed at the same time, though with plenty of differences, but the fact surprised. This heartfelt greetings to all "dinosaurs" and lovers of glass "IPhone".
Another support in favor of the installation of the new program was, in fact, a new upgrade system, allowing automatically to make room for a new distro, and then you hit loss. This gave the opportunity to all owners of 8 GB gadgets jump to iOS 9.
This is the most controversial point in the whole system. Throughout its history, the platform from Apple called the most stable and fast, affordable, and easy. iOS operating system in the world for its complex qualities received the title AK. Running iOS 9 on the iPhone 4s well enough, but is not even close to the user experience that used to have fans of Apple.
Time-Lapse frame rate and popisania became visible literally everywhere. Search opens slowly, as information is processed. Delays occur while making calls, modern applications open for a long time. Wildly falls the smoothness in the Music app. You have to wait for launch, even banal utilities such as calculator, clock, recorder and other. The descent camera is also not gonna work the same as before.
Safari unloads tabs from memory literally the same moment when you leave, and load a massive page. Productivity has fallen and it can't be denied. A system to use all the more difficult.
In the case of Apple gadgets users often face different kinds of constraints. This is mainly due to geography. Just remember how long the Russian-speaking population was waiting for the notorious Siri. Almost 5 years ago, so she learned Russian, and did not study. The same can be said about maps, music, iTunes and many other services.
There is another kind of restrictions that are associated with the hardware of the specific device. And if they are not too large and hard, but this time they completely lost the meaning of installing a new version of iOS.
For example, the system prompts Siri on older phones are not supported, and you won't even find this screen. You can also forget about the support add-ons for the browser (advertising block will not work). Even there is no possibility to make sketches in the updated Notes app. Therefore, users have not received anything new. Almost all features were cut. In the end we have a minimum of updates and a bunch of problems related to performance.
The Best mobile operating system in the world gathered a lot of positive feedback, especially at the time of release. And with each new update of the opinion of the users was on the decline. The number of bugs grew, the performance fell, and in the end, all finished off constantly enabled Caps Lock. There are many users who will claim that the iPhone 4s in a system, the system is in order, and you can work. These people are often in a hurry to leave a review on iOS 9 with a positive connotation, deceiving many, thought about upgrading.
It's All about perception. Someone used that program must be run for 5-10 seconds, and someone not willing to wait, therefore, always buy the most modern gadgets.
Why is it so hard to get a General impression with regards to iOS 9 on the iPhone 4s. Feedback on the program because of different perceptions of users make it impossible to answer the question about whether to install a new system.
Upgrade to iOS 9 – this is the last stage of life of the fourth generation IPhones. We have to admit that its life cycle has expired and it is time to get rid of it. This is not surprising, because its hardware is quite weak, and the software is getting more complex and heavy.
The people argued that the slowdown in the operating system is not due to weak hardware, but because of Apple's plans to cash in on their users. Supposedly this is a forcible impact on the owners of the old iPhone, trying to survive with their old phones, to get to buy a new product. In favor of this theory is the fact that the hacker community has long learned to accelerate the apparatus to implement functions that does not want to implement Apple, and so on. Like it or not, exactly no one can say. One thing is clear that time is the old "IPhone" came out, and it's time to change.
