According to a new report, Apple will soon extend testing of pre-release iOS builds to its retail store employees. <!--break--></p> <p>The report comes from 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/01/07/apple-to-widen-pre-release-ios-testing-by-roping-in-retail-employees/)'s Mark Gurman, who says the following:</p>

<p>Apple will begin providing select retail store employees access to upcoming versions of iOS in order to widen its pre-release testing program, according to multiple sources. The program will begin in the near-future with an upcoming iOS release, perhaps version 8.2, which is slated to be released alongside the Apple Watch.</p>

<p>If true, hopefully this increased testing base helps to cut back on crippling bugs like those that plagued iOS 8's initial builds (http://www.imore.com/apple-pulls-ios-801-software-update-circulation).</p> <p>Source: 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/01/07/apple-to-widen-pre-release-ios-testing-by-roping-in-retail-employees/)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-29287"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/421a9ba9/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
