Apple will let users beta test newest IOS
In an effort to eliminate bugs from upcoming iOS versions ahead of their general releases, Apple plans to launch the first-ever public beta program for the IOS operating system, according to multiple people briefed on the plans. Following the successful launch of the OS X Public Beta program with OS X Yosemite last year, Apple intends to release the upcoming iOS 8.3 as a public beta via the company’s existing AppleSeed program in mid-March. The article goes on to say early iOS 8 developers builds, the public betas will include a dedicated app that allows users to report bugs to Apple. The main goal of the iOS beta program will be a more reliable and widely tested operating system by the time of the wider consumer launch. Launching public beta versions of iOS will also enable some consumers to test-drive future iOS features.
The new IOS Codenamed Stowe, 8.3 was sent to devlopers with several enhancements. The updated software includes support for Wireless CarPlay, an upgraded Emoji keyboard, an enhanced voice for Siri, and simpler login for Google services. Apple is also working on IOS 8.4 codenamed Copper, that bundles Apple’s new streaming service. Like the early iOS 8 developers builds, the public betas will include a dedicated app that allows users to report bugs to Apple.
