Back in the day, as the expression goes, compressing the code down like that
was called: "bumming the code!" They really bummed the code this time! <lol>

This is really amazing, how they've managed to compress the size down so
much. This should make it much snappier.

It will work on iPhone 4s and up.

Apple's new IOS9 will also work on older phones Jefferson Graham , USA TODAY
SAN FRANCISCO There's good news if you've got an older iPhone. At its
Worldwide Developers Conference here, Apple updated its mobile operating
system, IOS, saying the update will work more efficiently on older phones.
"We will support all the older devices," said Apple exec Craig Federighi,
something previous IOS editions didn't do. In last year's IOS update, many
consumers complained that the upgrade made their phones sluggish and the
download a monster. "We want everyone to get to IOS9," said Federighi.
"We've reduced the the amount of space you need, from 4.6 gigabytes to 1.3
GBs. Apple updates IOS every year, offering new features to keep customers
satisfied with their iPhone, and not itching to switch to the rival Android
system from Google. But Apple saw more resistance to last year's edition.
The IOS7 upgrade was accepted by 78% of iPhone and iPad users after just 3
months; it took Apple 9 months to finally get to 82% for iOS8. The new IOS,
expected to be unveiled in the fall, along with the release of the new
iPhone, will work with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch models. Apple also
showcased the operating system upgrade for Mac computers, OS X El Capitan,
which it said would offer faster operations. The OS will be available for
free in the fall. Much of the presentation was based on IOS, and showcasing
a new tool it calls Proactive, which learns about your phone habits, and
offers reminders and updates. Proactive uses Siri, the personal digital
assistant, to work hand-in-hand with apps. Siri gets 1 billion requests a
week, Apple said. At the demo, Federighi showed a text that came in from a
co-worker to make plans for a Karaoke night. He told Siri to add it to his
calendar, and then showed off the auto reminder to the audience. Apple shows
off how Siri will interact with messages. (Photo: Chris Wiggins) "We're
bringing intelligence throughout the experience to IOS9, without
compromising your privacy," he said. "We don't go to your e-mail to learn
things about you. It's all done on the device. Beyond the smaller size,
Apple will introduce a new font, called "San Francisco," that was first seen
on the Apple Watch, and an upgrade to its Maps product, which debuted here
two years ago and was met with poor reviews. The revised maps will add
transit directions, but only in a handful of U.S. cities this year,
including San Francisco, Washington DC and New York. For the iPad, Apple is
bringing multitasking, with split-screen features not seen before on the
tablet. You'll be able to have a split-view view of the main screen, with
two apps open at the same time.
