This week Apple introduced iOS first 9, a first beta version was made available to developers in stride. We immediately installed the first version of the future mobile system on an iPhone 6, to give us an idea of what to expect. Verdict? We advise you (really) not to do so.
We will not review the new iOS 9, we have already discussed at its output (read: Apple annonce iOS 9) and you can find images by viewing the inaugural conference of the WWDC (read: Revivez la WWDC 2015 en vidéo). We will however give you our experience and feelings regarding this update, which we recall is a working version that is set to change to its effective output during the month of September.

New features
New iOS 9 are actually far fewer than the conference earlier this week left to think at first. If not we put aside the features reserved for the iPad and those that are still available in France, as public transport plans or new apple pay cards, there is not much to get in the tooth when an iPhone is used. Several new products announced during the WWDC are not yet in addition present in the beta, as some improvements to Siri, Spotlight, or applying News.
All that remains is very little. The radius of the news immediately visible, it was of course the new multi-tasking mode, which works in reverse of the previous system (the home screen located on the right of the screen) and is very confusing without bring any benefit (except perhaps to see an additional application in one glance ...). It also has research accessible again by sliding to the left of the home screen, which offers suggestions for sources of news that can not be selected, and recent contacts and applications (which we But do not open for months). It is currently impossible to access half of the functions presented during WWDC (like the weather widget), and the only novelty we really enjoyed unrestricted is the Notes application, which lets small drawings, insert lists, photos ... then remain the tiny alterations, such as adding a handy navigation bar in the Photos application, or adding a small button to return to the previous application when app redirects to another application (eg, Facebook Messenger from).
Stability and performance
Overall, this first beta is surprisingly quite stable and performance are at the rendezvous. As a working version that is not finalized and will be further improved before its release, this is very encouraging. A bit like OS X 10.11 El Capitan where most improvements are under the hood, Apple relies heavily on the reliability of its mobile system with this next update.
Note however that we were very unpleasantly surprised by the autonomy of our iPhone 6 following the installation of this first beta version of iOS 9. The phone, even unused, heated enormously and discharges completely in half a day. It is obvious that this defect will be corrected with the next update, and the problem will be gone before the public release of iOS before 9 and even the public beta phase scheduled during the month of July. Until this is resolved concern, therefore we do not recommend installing this heavily pre-9 version of iOS on your phone, unless developer and to have a real business need. 9 iOS bringing no great revolution on the iPhone, there is also little point in taking the time to perform this update and take the risk of encountering problems of incompatibility with the applications you use every day.
