Like it did for the latest version of OS X today, Apple showed off the big new features coming to iOS 9 this fall but it also briefly gave us a look at 30+ other features that will arrive with the release. If you didn’t catch them all when Apple flashed the slide on stage, here’s the full list.
Some of the notables include wireless CarPlay support, new gaming APIs, app thinning features, third-party notifications, audio unit and VPN plug-in extensions, UI testing in Xcode, and much more.

These are more-so Developer APIs than they are “iOS 9 Features”. There is some crossover, but for some of these like “UI Testing in Xcode”, its a bit off the mark to say its an iOS 9 Feature.
Reblogged this on Aasim's Web Corner and commented:
Another iOS, new SDK and new features. Users are happy, and developers are ready to dig into APIs.
What exactly is “notification actions” and “third party notifications”?
Maybe some new notification actions (like Reply, Delete, Mark as XY etc.) and maybe some new notifications aside the good ol’ banner/pop-up style?
Third party notifications sounds like something like the Safari notifications in OS X to me. Where you don’t have to have anything installed but can get notifications from external things. Just what it sounds like to me.
I’m curious to know what the “walkthrough” feature is in Maps.
What is “OCR accessory setup”?
