One unsung feature in iOS 9<\/a> is that everyone’s favorite digital assistant — Siri, not Cortana — can now be fine tuned to recognize only your<\/i> voice. This becomes a near-necessity when coupled with a feature that is available in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus<\/a>; the ability to use the hands-free Hey Siri command at any time, not just when your iPhone is plugged in.

As one of the early reviewers of the new iPhones said, “When do we do away with the Home screen altogether?”<\/p>\n
