It looks like Apple has revealed new details regarding the release date of the new Apple iOS 8.3, along with its installation process for the Beta version of software.
GottaBeMobile has reported that Apple might be announcing the launch date of the iOS 8.3 at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2015 on June 8-12.
"Apple’s next launch event will likely be WWDC 2015 this summer. If that holds, the only way we’ll see Apple announce a public iOS 8.3 release date is if the update takes the stage during that launch event," GottaBeMobile reports.
However, the website noted that Apple might have a hard time explaining the new features and improvement made for the iOS 8.3, since everyone is focused on the iOS 9 and iOS X softwares. Apple also plans to release another beta version of iOS 8.3 as they have to learn what needs more to improve when the actual software is introduced to the public.
GottaBeMobile wrote, "An iOS 8.3 release date remains out of reach but if we had to guess, we’d say that we’ll probably see it arrive in April, May or June with June being the least likely of the two given how far out it is. The point is that we would not expect it anytime soon. Apple has a beta process in place for a reason and with iOS 8.2 appearing to be stable, it should be in no hurry to get this update out to iPhone and iPad users. Be patient."
So what are the improvements that Apple made in the iOS 8.3?
9toMac reports that the iOS 8.3 beta 3 will provide certain changes and improvements in every iPhone and iPad devices such as Apple Watch app, new ‘Conversation List Filtering’ option, ‘Report Junk’ link, wireless CarPlay, Emoji keyboard for input, tweaked login for Google services and support for Apple Pay in China.
