Apple to out public betas for iOS 8.3 and iOS 9

20 February, 2015
The company will thus change its long-standing policy of only letting developers in on the betas.

If iOS 9 will focus on bug fixes, why are they bumping it up a whole version number? It should be 8.x. Really, it ought to be about 7.x if they followed standard practice. The way Apple numbers iOS versions is so retarded.

      Really, i was Apple lover, till iPhone 4S.
      But after i saw Samsung Galaxy Series, i understand, that Apple phones is most tedious.

      1) Apple Software updates improves nothing(it only adds some new apps), are you f.. kidding me? THAT'S NOT UPDATE!
      2) Apple Software GUI is staying for long time, for multitudinous years.
      3) Apple Software is not friendly, it have less customizations than any other phones.
      4) IOS8 is most shittest GUI, i've ever seen, even better is Windows 98/IOS6.

        The iPhone 6 is also a far better phone overall, so go hide under a rock.

                  IOS is optimized to run fast. Unlike Android which needs high end handsets to run fast. IOS runs fast on a dual core chip. dont need quad or hexacore chips to run blazingly fast.

You can post unlimited number of apps in app store, you can even filter apps in app store. The most interesting part is, if you correct the mistake, you will get paid.
