"Apple's iOS 17.4 Update: Controversial Surprise, New Features, and Critical Fixes"

Apple's latest iPhone software, iOS 17.4, has been split into two versions for EU users and everyone else due to the Digital Markets Act, allowing EU iPhone owners to access alternative app marketplaces. However, EU users traveling outside the EU will have a 30-day grace period to continue using apps downloaded from these marketplaces, after which they won't receive updates. This development may prompt other governments to consider similar legislation. Additionally, commentaries on the act's impact on big tech companies like Apple, Meta, and Google suggest that some changes may be superficial compliance to regulatory requirements.
