Apple is moving iOS 8.2 to the release stage with the firmware being available to the public this coming Monday or the following week at the absolute latest, according to BGR.
The site has also learned that there could be as many as four beta versions of iOS 8.3.
Additionally, we were told there might be as many as four iOS 8.3 beta versions. Apple released iOS 8.3 beta 2 earlier this week, so that leaves two more versions before the company makes it publicly available to customers.

8.2 will unlock NFC. It will not be limited to Apple Pay.

I hope there's a little more than CarPlay and new emojiis. I'm not sure how many people will upgrade to use a mocha smiley face.

Apple should require a password for device shutdown to prevent stolen phones from being untraceable. This would allow the owner to locate the device via Find My iPhone as long as it has battery and network access.

What are you talking about? That's what FindMyPhone does. And you can also do it through iCloud website.

Using icaughtu from cydia also stops the phone being turned off and when the passcode is entered incorrectly a photo is taken and emailed with gps to you, it's is nice to know if it's stolen. It's a nice app

They got to do more for hardware security. The iOS is the best one but they got to work to improve new technology for discourage thieves.

When I lost my sim remover it took me ages to find a suitable replacement around the house, and most people don't keep one on their person...apart from Apple Store workers, most phones stolen are thefts of opportunity. And may take awhile to remove the SIM card so you have that time to use find my iPhone. And things like that
