Apple’s new iOS 9 platform is already running on an impressive number of iOS devices right out of the gate, but the operating system isn’t entirely free of flaws. Certain bugs can affect its performance, and older devices might not be as fast on iOS 9 as you’d expect – in fact, a thorough video comparison between all iPhone models that can run iOS 9 showed that the new OS is slightly slower than the iOS 8.4.1, though it does show significant gains when it comes to Wi-Fi speed and browsing.

Some iPhone and iPad owners may experience a slower iOS 9 performance, but there are things they can do to combat lag and speed up iOS 9.

At the same time, Apple has been reaching out to spooked publishers about offering them a sanctuary from ad blocking if they agree to offer some content exclusively on Apple’s own Apple News app for a limited period of time.

iOS is safer than Android when it comes to malware attacks, but that doesn’t mean hackers aren’t successfully targeting the iPhone and iPad with malicious programs supposed to steal sensitive data. Usually, iOS malware reports explain that jailbroken devices are at risk, especially in Asian countries and that only a tiny fraction of Apple’s massive number of customers is affected. However, that’s not the case anymore.

A substantial security threat called XcodeGhost managed to fool App Store security and sneak into the App Store inside real App Store apps potentially affecting hundreds of millions of iPhone and iPad users on both stock and jailbroken devices. The one thing that’s common with recent iOS hacks is that the threat comes from China.
