I see a lot of under the hood upgrades. I especially like being able to see what is using my battery the most. The interoperability between iPhone and iPad for FaceTime is interesting. I am not so sure about the contact in the App Switcher. I turned that and the predictive type off. I am really happy about the Itunes family sharing. It makes it easy to monitor the kids. Or the spouse ;)  I am looking forward to getting an iPhone 6 to see how it uses some of these changes in iOS. I am glad that there have not  been significant changes to the UI. I know this is one of the things that Android users tease iOS about. But I like the simple UI. It makes it things quick and easy to access. 

 

These improvements sound good - positive thoughts anyone? ..".OS X Yosemite doesn't just bring a fantastic new look to the Mac, it also includes several major features introduce unprecedented levels of integration between iOS and OS X. With Continuity features like Handoff, for example, users can begin a task on one device and finish it on another with a seamless transition. SMS relay features, meanwhile, will let Mac users answer calls from their iOS devices. 

Other improvements include a "Today" view in Notification Center that integrates with third-party apps and an improved Spotlight search that pulls data from new sources. Several core apps have been updated with new features, with Safari gaining a revamped look and Mail gaining tools like Mail Drop, for handling large attachments, and Markup, for annotating images right within email messages.
