Evidence iOS 9 Is Already Being Tested


New data indicating that iOS 9, the next version of Apple’s mobile operating system, is now being publicly tested.  Earlier this week, AppleInsider revealed an increase in visits to its website from devices apparently running iOS 9. Now, a second report from mobile marketing firm Fiksu seems to confirm that internal testing for Apple’s next mobile operating system is already underway. 
The IDFA, a marker used by mobile advertisers, is a way to uniquely identify a device until the point that the user chooses to reset the identifier – something then serves as the mobile equivalent to clearing a web browser’s cookies. Because it’s possible to reset the IDFA, Fiksu can’t be sure that it spotted 145 distinct devices. However, it’s likely, because resetting the IDFA is not really a common activity.
 92% of these iOS 9 devices (or 134 devices) have been spotted in the U.S. Meanwhile, 2 others were seen in China, 2 more in the Czech Republic, and 1 each in several more countries. The tiny numbers of devices in other places could indicate that Apple has only begun to look at how the new OS behaves in different international settings.
63% of the devices are iPhone 6 or 6 Plus’s, 12% are iPad Air 2’s, 12% are iPhone 5s devices, and 13% are “everything else,” including the iPhone 4s, 5 and 5c and the iPad 4, Air, mini 2 and mini 3. 
I am still not sure what to expect from iOS 9, though recent rumors suggest Apple may finally add public transportation directions to its Maps app along with indoor mapping. It’s also possible Apple could use the opportunity to open up the NFC chip in recent devices to third-party developers. That makes sense since the company did the same thing with Touch ID for iOS 8. Either way, I am not expecting Apple to make any official announcements until WWDC in June.
