New in iOS 9: two-column landscape layout in Notification Center on iPads
iOS 9 packs in a whole bunch of nice-to-haves and small refinements that haven't even made it into the official release notes.
Among other things, the operating system introduces a more streamlined Notification Center view in landscape mode which Apple designed to take advantage of the larger screen real estate on iPads.

New in iOS 9: a larger iPad folder layout

Twitter: one of the first apps to embed Quick Reply within notifications on iOS 9
One of the new features of iOS 9 that Apple hasn't actively advertised has the tremendous potential to be actively used on an everyday basis by the vast majority of users: it at last permits third-party developers to implement Quick Reply functionality within banner alerts, the Notification Center and notifications shown on the Lock screen.
Twitter is one of the first applications out of the gate to have readily adopted this feature in its most recent update that just hit the App Store. And if you own an iPad with iOS 9, you can now use Twitter in iOS 9's new side-by-side multitasking mode.
People are reporting on Twitter that Quick Reply is broken in this update and a few members of our team were able to independently confirm this.
AT&T raises LTE throttling threshold for unlimited customers to 22GB
AT&T on Wednesday updated its website with a minor but noteworthy change to its throttling policy. The carrier says it will no longer throttle subscribers on grandfathered unlimited data plans in congested areas until they surpass 22GB of data in a single bill cycle.
The move represents a significant change from AT&T's previous stance on throttling, which was to start slowing down unlimited data plan customers in high-traffic areas after just 5GB of usage, and it probably has something to do with the FCC's $100 million fine.
