Looks like their removing a lot from Darwin and replacing it with Swift language ?
I don't write code. I understand some of it but not enough to understand exactly what they are doing but enough to know things are changing.
It's this time of year I feel sorry for Apple developers.

A 13 foot iPad is way to big for me, unless it's wall mountable. Then I'd be more than interested.
Darwin and Swift are two different things. Darwin is the base operating system and Swift is a programming language.
I think the surprising part is that Apple is letting developers test 8.2 and 8.3 at the same time. I'm guessing most people expected it after 8.2's release.
Also, there's a new version of Xcode beta (6.3), which includes a new version of Swift. Apple's Swift blog has a post about it..
Also, that tuple name… shudder
It looks, to me, to be more Swift helpers than actually added APIs.

Replacing? No. Augmenting, yes.Looks like their removing a lot from Darwin and replacing it with Swift language ?

Performance does seemed to be improved for the iPhone 4s under iOS 8.2 beta. There are videos comparing and there does seem to be a difference.
Seems like focus is really shifting to china, before europe was second most of the time, especially germany...
Canada is right beside the US. How do you think we feel?
I know it's a bit early but can someone with A7 devices share their opinion regarding the performance, UI smoothness, keyboards. For example, does Control Center still hangs in the middle of the animation when dragging it up really quick? Or are A7 ipads better? Thanks in advance!
is there a list of car models that support carplay? I guess my factory install voice command in 2013 kia won't work with car play.
I'm still on 8.1.2 debating to JB or not. All I know is this is more buggy than 8.1.1 was so I'm hoping 8.1.3 is an improvement. Can I still got back to 8.1.1?
iPad Pro. Split screen multitasking.
I suppose time will tell what devs uncover, but id have thought Apple would have wanted to show off iPad software features. And I'd have hoped split screen multitasking would come to the Air 2, as well.
Because canadian banks are retards ? There is no way in hell they will commit to a system that is not their.
I'm canadian BTW.
Is it possible that future 8.3 betas add this? Maybe Apple has an event in March where it gets announced? Makes you wonder why they decided to release this beta now.
Why can't they just include the app, Emoji My Face, and let us make our own? I don't use them in general, but if I did it would probably only be a half-dozen at most. Think about the amount of memory that would save? (colon, right parenthesis)
Wireless? I'd be happy with CARPLAY in my 2014 Honda Civic, the car that's the posterboy for Carplay on Apple's site yet STILL doesn't have it.
