OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Public Beta With Photos App Now Available

Apple today made a pre-release version of OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 available to those who are signed up for the company's OS X public beta program, giving them early access to the new update and the new Photos for OS X app.
 
 The public beta carries a build number of 14D87p, a slightly later build number than the 14D87h from the second developer beta of the software, released last week (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/02/23/apple-seeds-second-os-x-10-10-3-yosemite-beta-to-developers/).
 
 All registered public beta test members should be able to download OS X Yosemite through the Mac App Store.
 
 OS X 10.10.3 includes access to the new Photos app, which is designed to serve as a replacement for Aperture and iPhoto. Early reviews have suggested (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/02/05/photos-for-os-x-first-impressions/) the new software improves upon iPhoto, but leaves out many power features Aperture users have become accustomed to.

 Along with the Photos app, OS X 10.10.3 also includes a redesigned single-page emoji picker that's organized into categories, and it introduces new diversified emoji and emoji skin tone modifiers (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/02/23/10-10-3-new-emoji/). There are also new flag emoji for many countries, and some updates to existing emoji to better reflect Apple products -- the watch emoji is now an Apple Watch, the cell phone resembles an iPhone 6, and the computer is an iMac.
 
 Smaller additions in OS X 10.10.3 include support for Google 2-step verification when setting up accounts in System Preferences.
