Apple Seeds First iOS 8.3 Beta to Developers With Wireless CarPlay, New Emoji Picker, Apple Pay for China

I could see maps improvements but split screen? Wouldn't that be something Apple would want to announce instead of having it just show up in a software beta? Unless it means an event is happening soon...maybe for Watch and new iPad?

That's true. I can think of an Apple Event in March for Apple Watch, new iPad and 12'' MBA. But that would bring the two iOS releases very close together...

You think so? I was hoping otherwise just because I'm away from my Mac at the moment

Considering it's a seperate concurrent beta branch, no, I would not expect an OTA update. there may still be a further 8.2 beta, also.
 
iOS 8.3 could be the iPad Pro/split-screen multitasking update. It could also be the Beats update given the rumours that'll it'll be integrated directly into the Music app which would require an iOS update.

Everyone's aiming so high with updates. I'd love that but I doubt it'll be so major.

Interesting article on 8.3

I wonder why they're not allowing anyone to downgrade back? So what happens if you try to Restore? Technically iOS 8.1.3 is still signed, so I dont know how they would be stopping you from downgrading. That's really weird. It must be some notable changes here too if they're not letting anyone downgrade.
 
Makes Sense

This seems logical if an 8.2 public release is imminent, which makes sense since I'm sure Apple would want 8.2 out in the wild well before Apple Watch makes it debut. Imagine if 8.2 came out just days before Apple Watch. You know there would be A LOT of users buying Apple Watches and not having their iOS up to date and then wondering why things didn't work. Releasing 8.2 well in advance would ensure the majority of users were up to date and would prevent an influx of support inquiries for simple iOS out of date issues.

I hadn't thought of this prior, but now that 8.3 is in beta it would make complete sense for 8.2 to go public soon.

Can't wait to see what (if any) major upgrades are in 8.3... Maps, Split Screen, etc. Like most others, I'll gladly settle for more bug fixes and stability though.

That's just for AU. All of the others like AudioToolbox, CoreAudio etc..
