Apple’s next generation mobile operating system does not arrive until the fall, but Cupertino provided a sneak peek at iOS 9 today at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC).

Developers can start testing it out today, and Apple will offer a public beta in July. But average Apple users should probably wait until the fall, when iOS 9 will launch as a free upgrade, likely alongside new iPhones.

Among the new features arriving in iOS 9 is Intelligence, or Apple’s version of Google Now. It aims to provide you with the most relevant information when you need it, like music for a morning run, alerts about when you should leave for that meeting, or an audiobook when you get into your car.

Intelligence extends to Siri, which Apple said has seen a 40 percent reduction in word error rate over the last year to 5 percent. She can now respond to more natural-language queries like “show me photos from Utah last August” or “remind me to grab my coffee off the roof of my car when I get in,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering.

If you receive a text message about an event or are looking at a recipe on Safari, meanwhile, you can tell Siri to “remind me about this” and Siri will create a reminder based on what you’re currently viewing.

Perhaps most noteworthy, however, is that split-screen multi-tasking will now be supported on iPad.

A feature known as Slide Over will let you browse Safari on the left side of the screen, but keep email or Mesages open on the right. Picture-in-Picture, meanwhile, will allow you to conduct a FaceTime or video call in small window and continue browsing other apps in a larger view.

For now, multi-tasking will be supported by Apple’s built-in apps, but Cupertino is releasing an API so that developers can add support for it, too. Unfortunately, this will only be supported on newer iPads, so you’ll need to upgrade to an iPad Air 2 for the full treatment (or wait until Apple unveils new iPads in the fall).

As a whole, however, iOS 9 will work on all the devices that support iOS 8, so those with older devices can still experience some of the new features. 

That includes transit directions for Apple Maps in Baltimore, Berlin, Chicago, London, Mexico City, New York City, Philadelphia, the San Francisco Bay Area, Toronto, and Washington D.C., as well as over 300 cities in China, including Beijing, Chengdu, and Shanghai. Federighi promised detailed transit information, including station information overlays and details about street-level subway entrances to assist those navigating major transit hubs.

Apple is also boosting its Notes app with the ability to add a sketch with your finger, create checklists, add photos, and save items to Notes from other apps.

Apple will also take a page from Flipboard with the built-in News app, which will offer news based on your interests. Partners like The New York Times and BuzzFeed will have their content featured inside the app, though Federighi said that any publication can participate. The launch of News means the demise of the Newsstand app.

Meanwhile, Apple Pay will add support for Discover credit cards and loyalty cards, as well as new retailers. The company is also re-branding Passbook as Wallet ahead of a July rollout for Apple Pay in the U.K.

On the developer front, Apple announced the Swift 2 programming language and said that it will open source the Swift compiler and standard library later this year.

Also today, Apple showed off the next version of Mac OS X, dubbed El Capitan, as well as Apple Music, and updates coming to Apple Watch this fall.
