New features added with iOS 9 include: discover places that accept Apple Pay; 3D Touch for controlling quick actions on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus; add the iCloud drive app on the home screen; low power option and usage information; caller ID support; customize the news app; and others.

iOS 9 has officially launched on September 16, 2015. Apple unveiled its plans to add loyalty cards to its mobile payment service in June 2015.
