The update, build13A4325c, is currently only available via download from the Apple Developer Center, but it should show up as an over-the-air update for users already running the iOS 9 beta on their devices very soon.

iOS 9 Features

The iOS 9 update has so far concentrated on making users’ devices more intelligent and proactive. Siri is more intelligent, and Spotlight search is also improved . Also improved are many of the built-in apps, including Music (with Apple Music), Notes, Reminders, Maps, and Mail.

The new OS also includes new iPad-only features, such as spit-screen multitasking for the iPad, as well as picture-in-a-picture and a revamped keyboard.
