Apple iOS 9 tipped to focus on bug fixes and stability improvements

According to a new report online, Apple?s upcoming iOS 9 will not bring the usual host of new features as its predecessors. Codenamed Monarch, Cupertino?s next major iOS release will focus on bug fixes and overall stability improvements. Some new features will of course make their way into iOS 9. However, optimizing the OS is going to be the major focus of Apple?s team of engineers - hardly a surprise considering the bevy of issues iOS 8 initially carried. Apple is also said to be working on making iOS require less free storage for new updates. This particular issue stormed into the spotlight with iOS 8, which forced many users to delete content from their devices in order to install it. Owners of 16GB Apple iOS devices were unsurprisingly affected the most. Such a step by Apple should hardly catch anyone by surprise.

The module in question is the Broadcom BCM4356, which features 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.1.

According to a new report, NVIDIA is hard at work on the successor of the Shield Android tablet. The sequel of the 8? gaming slate is rumored to launch in mid-March or earlier. Unsurprisingly, the biggest highlight in the upcoming tablet will be its NVIDIA Tegra X1 chipset with Maxwell GPU.

Chipset aside, there is no other information available on the yet to be revealed slate.
