Apple is putting a 'huge' focus on stability and performance optimization for iOS 9, reports 9to5Mac.

For 2015, iOS 9 is going to include a collection of under-the-hood improvements. Sources tell us that iOS 9 engineers are putting a “huge” focus on fixing bugs, maintaining stability, and boosting performance for the new operating system, rather than solely focusing on delivering major new feature additions. Apple will also continue to make efforts to keep the size of the OS and updates manageable, especially for the many millions of iOS device owners with 16GB devices.

One way Apple could improve the performance of iOS 9 is to limit its support to newer 64-bit devices. Dropping the iPhone 5c, iPad mini, iPod touch 5G, and older devices would mean all iOS 9 devices would have 64-bit A7, A8, or A9 processors.

While performance improvements would be the key feature of iOS 9, Apple has also been rumored to be working several new features including Transit and Indoor mapping, so there should be some enhancements to look forward to.

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 9 in June at WWDC 2015. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

I don't know why iPhone 5,5c, .should not get the ios9 . 64bit computing looks great on PCs and not on phones. Every device capable of running ios9 should get the update

The stability older versions of iOS had would suffice for now for iOS9. We've come very far. Hopefully without loosing stability we can have a few color combinations without having to jailbreak the phone. Keep this one now and then maybe a darker one etc...

So what they are saying is that they realize that they have packed too much crap into the OS without increasing performance...because when a new version of iOS comes out (i.e. 5,6,7,8,), they usually produce numerous features, then the 8.1, 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3, 8.2 releases that follow should be focused on bug fixes and stability. I see iOS 9 to be Apple's mobile version of what Windows 10 will be, a complete under the hood overhaul of performance. Hopefully this will be a huge performance increase.
