Notification Center will now be available without having to unlock your device

Control Center gives you quick access to Bluetooth / Wi-Fi / Airplane Mode as well as a Flashlight

The Photos App now groups pictures to Moments so no more clutter

AppStore now you can look for Apps based on location or for the parents out there by Age Group.

Now remember the numbers you see on those apps that need updating.   No More they will update automatically.

Notification Sync – Don’t you hate when you have a reminder on your iPhone and you dismiss it and then you go to your iPad and you have to dismiss the same thing again.    Well NO More.

Now if you lose your iPhone and it gets wiped they cannot use it as it will have an Activation Lock where only you can access using your iCloud username / password.
