9. Ye Olde and Busted Way
   Push notifications and local notifications are totally
   different classes, with totally different paths
   Remote notifications can't be updated once received
   If you send things which change remotely, you have
   to send one kajillion* separate notifications
   *-rough estimate

12. Ye Awesome Neue Way
    A Notification is a Notification is a Notification
    Notification extensions can grab additional content
    like images and videos from remote notifications
    Remote notifications can have unique identifiers and
    be updated rather than having to send separate
    notifications.

15. Other helpful changes
    Notifications received while the app is in the
    foreground can be shown using system UI
    Local/Remote notification handling delegate
    methods are now combined
    (and no longer on UIApplicationDelegate*)
    *mostly

16. Other annoying changes
    I really hope you like extensions
    A couple bits are still in the UIApplicationDelegate
    Threading? ¯\_(ϑ)_/¯
    Simultaneous support of old and busted with the
    new hotness is REAL obnoxious.

28. What Do You Need To Do?
    1. Use the UNNotifications framework
    2. Create a Notification Extension
    3. Create a Notification UI extension (needs the
    UserNotificationsUI framework)
    4. Start begging working on convincing your Product
    team to drop iOS 9 support.
