Apple opened the door to third-party app stores with iOS 17.4, which is valid for EU countries. However, the iOS 17.4 update, which offers important features such as expanding stolen device protection, is in the spotlight due to a battery issue. Accordingly, some iPhone users sharing on the X platform made posts about the iOS 17.4 battery problem.
How widespread is the iOS 17.4 battery problem among iPhone users?
Apple perhaps faces similar issues with every operating system update. Especially older iPhone users like iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are not always pleased with new updates. As you know, Apple released the new iOS 17.4 update five days ago.
On the X platform, posts about the iOS 17.4 battery problem have already started to emerge. According to this, an iPhone 11 Pro user plugs in their phone at 40 percent after the iOS 17.4 update. According to the user’s account, the phone only managed to charge to 94 percent four hours later.
In their posts about the iOS 17.4 battery problem, users complain that the new operating system drains the battery excessively. However, it is not yet known how widespread this issue is. There is a high possibility that Apple will address a widespread iOS 17.4 battery problem with an urgent update.
However, if the problem is rare, there is a high chance you’ll have to wait until the next iOS update. Of course, iPhone 11 users have already received the latest iOS update. In this regard, there is also a possibility that Apple will release a minor corrective update.
It turns out that Apple is working on an app that will make it easier to switch from an iOS device to an Android phone.
In the European Union (EU), users now have the option to select an alternative app store as the default app store on their iPhones. Now users have the option to use full text transcripts for all podcasts on Apple Podcasts.
Transcripts not only enhance the listening experience but also increase accessibility for hearing-impaired users. Users can now use the SharePlay feature with HomePod as well. This allows you to listen to Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and other audio content with multiple people through HomePod.
iOS 17.4 includes new emoji characters such as lemon, brown mushroom, phoenix, broken chain, head shaking vertically (yes meaning), and head shaking horizontally (no meaning). Additionally, the 18 people and body emoji now have the option to face both ways. iOS 17.4 is also prepared for the new CarPlay that will be launched in the United States in 2024.
There is a security update in iMessage to fix a security vulnerability. In the code, there are indications of future features such as Apple Music Classical, family sharing for Fitness+ subscriptions, and a new operating system for AR/VR.
