Performance Features App Slicing or App Thinning

Ad Blockers◦ Improve performance and increase security
◦ As of 10/12/15, IT Pro Portal reports that many of these apps have been blocked from the App Store◦ Apple claims that in order to block ads from within third-party apps, they have to be buried in the root, with root access and root
certificates which leave devices vulnerable to SSL/TLS security solutions. They say they are working with developers to create more acceptable versions of these apps.

Issues and Concerns Response Speed
◦ Some iPhones are showing slower times launching, launching apps, playing videos, etc. under 9 than under 8.4.1◦ This has been an ongoing issue with OS upgrades (and despite complaints, it is not exclusive to Apple devices)◦ Devices are unequally affected: some issues affect 4 series and 6 series, 5s, but not 5 – or, affect each phone differently
Security Lock Flaw◦ An issue with older OS releases (8.4.1 might have been an exception)◦ Showed still an issue on iPhone 6 in 9.0.1◦ Supposedly fixed in iOS 9.0.2
◦ Replicated access to Siri on iPad Air 2 running 9.0.2, not sure if iPhone is needed for issue to show◦ 9.0.1 fix appears here◦ Some standard security fixes look like they might be able to work around this issue◦ Some good privacy settings can be found here
