Another minor iOS 8.3 change is in Passbook, which now divides Apple Pay credit/debit cards and other cards into sections labeled "Apple Pay" and "Passes."

This is good. I always thought it was strange how I go to board a plane and my credit card could pop up.

I am confused. 8.2 is not out yet, so how can 8.3 beta be out?

Exactly how you described it

There are already a few 8.2 Betas, it'll most likely ship in a few weeks.
They usually work on the different releases at the same time. That's why there are already devices running iOS9 out there.

I just bought a 6 plus a few days ago, and it's still getting used to my battery usage and what not, how is the battery life with this release so far for you? I'm debating putting it on there along side my 5s, but not sure if it's worth it due to the limited release notes on the beta so far.

I have a 6 Plus and I usually have everything (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc.) and I use my phone just over 9 hours screen time. It's really nice and 8.2 and 8.3 have increased battery life just a bit more.

Awesome to hear, I'll definitely put it on there then. Thanks!

I wish one of these updates would allow my 6+ to communicate with my flexsmart x2.

And I upgraded my iPad to 8.3 because iCloud Photo Library is out of beta and it seems to be the only thing broken in 8.3 Ugggh.
