Apple's WWDC developers conference event lasted over two hours Monday, but it still couldn't fit in time to reveal and demonstrate all the new features and updates we'll find in iOS 9, the upcoming operating system for iPhones and iPads. We've picked out some of the cool features they couldn't demonstrate at WWDC that you'll surely find useful.
The new font

If you didn't know about it, you could miss it entirely. Apple is switching from the Helvetica Neue font to its new San Francisco font it currently uses on the Apple Watch. It's almost identical to Helvetica, but slightly taller and thicker in some instances. The number "0" would appear less round and more vertically oval, for example.
The keyboard will have lower case lettersImage may be NSFW.

The letter keys in previous version of iOS were always capitalized, which meant we were reliant on the Shit key's overly subtle color change from black to white to know if the next letter we'd be typing would be capitalized or not. It wasn't always clear which color indicated capitalization, so this is a welcome update.
iCloud Drive

This is a new app which will work much like Dropbox does by letting you manage documents, photos, and other files from different devices as long as you're connected to the internet or your carrier's network.
Easily search for settings

While iOS 9 will surely be as intuitive as its predecessors, there will still be times when we might not remember where to find the setting you're trying to change. The new search box in settings will let you search for the setting you're looking for without needing to dig through the Settings app.
iPhone screen stays off when face down
Your iPhone screen lights up for a few seconds when you receive a notification, but your iPhone's battery life can suffer if you get a lot of notifications and the screen keeps turning on throughout your day. As a battery-saving measure in iOS 9, you'll be able to place your phone face down on a flat surface and the screen will stay off.
Better notification shade in iPad in landscape mode
Disable vibration
According to MacRumors, we'll be able to disable the iPhone's vibrations, which could have a slight battery-saving effect if you receive lots of notifications throughout the day. It'll also prevent you from annoying coworkers if your phone constantly buzzes.
New apps designed for older iOS devices
Apple is said to implement "app thinning" into iOS 9, which means you'll be able to download a version of the app designed specifically for your iOS device. That means that if you have an older iOS device, you won't download unnecessary features in the app that you can't use, like NFC for Apple Pay for example.
