The most gorgeous change Apple is about to make to your iPhone

Apple rolled out its iOS9 public beta awhile ago and those of us who chose to load it onto our iPhones have been playing with it since. Now that Apple is gearing up for a big event Wednesday we're expecting this thing to be released to everyone very soon. And there are a few changes that are going to make big differences in the way you use your iPhone.

The most aesthetically pleasing tweak Apple has made is in the iPhone task switcher.

The task switcher is that function that allows you to see all of your recent apps and easily access your contacts. You can close applications there that might be acting up, or easily switch to them.

Apple has changed things up in iOS 9, and it's a rather large visual change.

Not bad, right? Your most recent contacts have moved to a new shortcut screen when you swipe left in your home screen. Now the task switcher is all apps.

But you really need to see it in action to get the full effect:
