With all the good news and accolades Apple Inc. has been reaping lately - chief amongst which is raking in  $51.18 Billion dollar-profit in the last quarter, the biggest in the company's entire history - it seems things should not look any better for the Cupertino-based company. But unfortunately for the competition, Google and Microsoft most directly, that may be the case and all because of one teeny-weeny detail: iOS 9.

Public beta testing programs are expected to be on the roll both for iOS 8.3 and iOS 9 respectively, 9to5Mac reports. Now, that should set off another set of improvements that could tilt the playing field even more to Apple's favor. To note, the tech giant made a killing out of its iconic iPhone, more than any product in its sleeves.  

Letting the Public in on It

Not too long ago, die-hard iOS fans will have to wait for an upgrade to be on the roll to get a taste of the improvements on his iPhone's operating system.

Not so today. Apple is changing its tactics: beta versions of the iOS 8.3 and iOS 9 will be released for public scrutiny.

If things go as planned, the Tim Cook-led tech giant will release its 8.3 beta to  discriminating consumers before March ends via its AppleSeed program.  

That should allow a window of testing and adjustments for the software upgrade as it will also be offered to developers on the same week of its public release.

Predictably, the iOS 9 upgrade should follow a similar route.

Better iPhone Experience in the Works

Reportedly, Apple Inc. is eyeing its Worldwide Developers Conference in June as the right time to debut its iOS 9 upgrade.

Subsequently, the tech giant will have to come up with a summer release date to seed the beta version for public scrutiny - in preparation for the planned release by fall.

However, this could get tricky as reportedly, the public beta testing will be given to a control crowd of about 100,000 individuals only.

Such a set-up may be ideal to narrow down the bugs and ensure certain features will be included in the final release, according to Design&Trend.

Already, things are looking up as iOS 9 is rumored to be geared less on new features but more towards optimizing the mobile OS experience.

That should put a wide grin on every iOS fan on the planet, and perhaps elicit a sigh for Apple's most cutthroat competition - not to mention a boatload of tinkering.
