Latest reports claim that Apple may be releasing its latest mobile operating system iOS 9 some time soon, as the software was reportedly spotted on iPhone 6 for testing.

GSM Arena recently fuelled the expectations of Apple users regarding the early release of the iOS 9 by claiming that the software is currently being tested by the Cupertino-based tech titan. The tech website further claimed iOS 9 was spotted in a benchmark listing on the Basemark OS II database.

According to the report, the benchmark displayed the numbers derived from the testing of the operating system. The results showed that apart from a 17 percent higher web score, the upcoming firmware is at par with the iOS 8.

This is an indication of the fact that currently the upcoming firmware is undergoing various testing prior to Apple introducing it officially. In all probability, the results will change till the time the developers accomplish the perfect features of the software.

According to previous reports, Apple was working on iOS 9 as there were rumors that Apple planned to release iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus having twice the RAM compared to that of the current iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. It is believed that such a notable update in the smartphones' hardware will have simultaneous consequences on the iOS.

Provided Apple can manage to maintain its original timeline, it is very likely that currently the software is under development and Apple may unveil it in June when it organizes its annual Worldwide Developers' Conference 2015.

However, Apple has not made any announcements regarding the new operating system so far and it is believed that the company is withholding the interesting details for its keynote conference at the WWDC 2015. Forecasts, however, claimed that it is very likely that Apple will open the Apple Pay or the NFC chip to developers, so that they can use the features in their individual apps, something similar to what the company earlier did to its TouchID fingerprint sensor.
