Apple’s latest software release for iPhone is nearing the end of testing and comes with a host of changes. How much longer until it’s available for everyone? Here’s the answer to “when will iOS 17.4 come out?”
Across the iOS 17.4 beta period, we’ve seen Apple expand new features and changes. At first, the beta arrived with prep for third-party app store support in the EU, new emoji, an improvement for Stolen Device Protection, transcripts in Apple Podcasts, and more.
Then Apple revealed iMessage quantum security, a CarPlay instrument cluster upgrade, an iPhone battery health menu change, a new “hello” screen, and more are also included with iOS 17.4.
