Assuming you do, you’ll be able to integrate your iPhone with your car via [the new CarPlay interface](http://time.com/11315/apple-carplay/ "undefined") (you’ll need a car that has a CarPlay-compatible entertainment system, of course, which won’t happen until later this year). There are also a couple Siri-related tweaks, some iTunes Radio-related updates, some additions to the Calendar app, some new Accessibility options, and a handful of other nips, tucks and bug fixes.
