I've been using Apple's big new iPhone update for a few days — here are my favorite things so far (AAPL)

Apple's newest software update for the iPhone called iOS 9 just launched on Wednesday, and simply put — the changes are subtle but powerful.

Apple said it focused on stability and security with this update, which means this update was more about making the system more efficient overall rather than adding visible new additions. 

That being said, there are still a few new things you'll want to check out when you upgrade.

Here's what I've found most useful so far.

I’ve been playing with iOS 9 for the past few weeks, but mostly on an iPad. I hadn’t installed it on my personal phone until Wednesday.

Notice anything different in the two screenshots below other than the background? Didn't think so. The look and feel of my phone didn’t really change at all when I upgraded to iOS 9. But it’s the little things that made the difference to me.

The new search, for instance, is a big part of what’s new in iOS 9. It’s more powerful, it can sift through more content on your phone like text messages, and it can pull up quick answers to questions without redirecting you to the web.
