For Multitasking on iPAD, iOS 9 has introduced bunch of new views which are :
- Slide Overview : Talking about Slide view, it lets users pick a secondary app and quickly interact with it

3D Touch
3D Touch is all new exiting feature of iOS9, this will change the way we use the touch gesture. On supported devices, people can quickly choose app-specific actions from the Home screen by pressing on the app icon. Within an app, people can use various pressures to get a preview of an item, open the item in a separate view, and access related actions
Search
This is all new exiting feature where in the User can search within app, even news. This will definitely eliminate need of Google. Search in iOS 9 gives users great new ways to access information inside of your app, even when it isn’t installed. When you make your content searchable, users can access activities and content deep within your app through Spotlight and Safari search results, Handoff, and Siri suggestions.
Gaming
Gaming is taken to all new level in iOS 9. There are minor improvisations on Gaming but will help the developers to create new and exiting games. iOS9 includes several technology improvements that make it easier than ever to implement your game’s graphics and audio features. Take advantage of high-level frameworks for ease-of-development, or use new low-level enhancements to harness the power of the GPU.
App Thinning
I have already written a brief blog on App Thinning which you can find it here. This feature will help to reduce the application size to a big extend.
Support for Right to Left Languages
iOS 9 brings comprehensive support for right-to-left languages, which makes it easier for you to provide a flipped user interface. This feature will help developer to create actual multilingual application
App Transport Security
App Transport Security (ATS) enforces best practices in the secure connections between an app and its back end. ATS prevents accidental disclosure, provides secure default behavior, and is easy to adopt; it is also on by default in iOS 9 and OS X v10.11.
