◆ Siri & search function
IOS 9 will be equipped with a search function called "Proactive Assistant"Google NowIt is seen as countering. Looking at the screen shot below comparing iOS 9 and Android, both of them adopt card design and similar information such as "NEARBY (nearby shop information)" and "NEWS / New content available" is displayed I understand that it is. Ars Technica evaluates that "Google Now is not only arranging cards but also graying the background, the visibility of information is getting higher."


The screen that searched for a movie and displayed detailed information is like this.


When searching for baseball match results, iOS 9 displays a larger final score, but both OSs have the same score table and next day game information.


In iOS 9 it corresponds to unit conversion such as "2 tablespoons = 3/4 cups". This is also a feature that Google search has previously installed.


Analyze the body of the mail automatically, register the schedule in the calendar, and display it as a reminder on the lock screen.


When I talk to Siri while watching a web page on iOS 9 "Remind me about this when I get home" (remind me when you get home), you will see "kore" as "browsing webpage" It recognizes and creates a reminder. Although this feature is not installed in Android, Android M is expected to implement a function called "Google Now on Tap" that allows contextual judgment of conversation.


◆ Map application
When searching for places with both iOS · Android map application, iOS 9 is putting emphasis on in-house developed transit guide function, and train service information is substantial. On Google Maps, on June 2, 2015 the real-time transit guide function to display "How long will the next subway come in?"Release, And it is expected that the same function will be available in the iOS 9 map application following it.


In iOS 9, searching "To + destination name" will show the route from your current location to your destination on the map.


The details display screen of transit guide is as follows. Both OSs show the walking distance on foot or the number of stops on the train. However, the iOS map application only supports 18 cities around the world at the time of article creation, and future updates are expected.


On the display screen of "Shops nearby", iOS displays vertically in stores in a list format, whereas Android uses a card design to arrange it long horizontally.


◆ Screen division function
IOS 9 for iPad enables split screen multitaskingAlthough it will become, this function is a tablet with Windows 8 and Samsung'sTouchWizIt is considered to be against the function-equipped terminal.


◆ Other
Up to iOS 8, there was a disadvantage that the alphabet on the keyboard remained "capital letters" regardless of input of lowercase letters or capital letters, but from iOS 9 it was said that when i tap on the shift key tap on lowercase / uppercase letters about. Android has been installed since the release.


WWDC 2015 did not announce "ICloud Drive application"Is very similar to Google's" Google Drive. " Ars Technica sees, "I think that most of the features named" iCloud "made by Apple are inspired by Google's service."


Apple's payment system "Apple Pay"Is a generic service similar to" Google Wallet ", but Apple's credit card companies are already compliant with Google Wallet and Apple is taking a considerable delay.


Ars Technica says "Apple seems to have most of the new features planned for iOS 9 in order to compete against Google's Android, the biggest rival in the mobile market, and Apple is trying to catch up with Android," I am analyzing it. However, on the other hand, "It seems that the function authentication mode of an application installed in Android M is exactly the same as that of iOS", and Apple and Google seem to cope with each other's function.
