Does anyone know when iOS 8.2 is going to be real eased to the public? I am very excited for it...
 
Why the interest? Apparently there's nothing interesting there.
 
I had to downgrade from beta 4. Battery life was horrible as was the teamviewer and Facebook app bug.
 
A while from now for 8.2.... April is my guess. Apple is still working on 8.1.3 to be done! And they have 9 coming in June/July -> for September release too!
 
Sometime after right now. Definitely not before that.


Do you have inside information from Apple?? There's no way you could possibly now that from the information given to the public..

Have you not been reading the news? The watch will be out by March. Where the hell do you get April from?
 
Since Tim Cook stated yesterday that the Apple Watch will be shipping in April, I think 8.2 will now be released end of March/early April.
 
Excited for what? It only adds Apple Watch connectivity support. No real difference unless you have an Apple Watch and that isn't coming til April

It will add the companion app and fitness app for Apple Watch - this is exciting enough for most...

If you're smart enough to know that, then you should be smart enough not to ask silly questions in this forum.
 
... It took about a month and a half between 8.1.2, and 8.1.3.

... Intervals between iOS updates tend to get longer as the OS cycle moves forward.

... The most significant change on the iOS 8.2 beta versions is support for WatchKit.

... The Apple Watch is due for release in just over two months.

... Connect the dots.

It increases performance for older devices as evidenced by the youtube videos. That's enough for a lot of people.
 
I think they will release 8.2 before the end of Feb. Whole March will be spent on fine tuning 8.2 so we will get 8.2.1 or 8.2.2 by the time iWatch actually ships in April.
