The iOS 17.4 beta has previously hinted at the possibility of sideloading applications on iPhones, and users now have the ability of selecting a default browser—something that hasn't been accessible to iPhone users anyplace else. However, there are still more iPhone-related projects in the works. These new functionalities will also work with earlier iPhone models.

3. Battery Health upgrade
With the new features Apple is introducing to Battery Health, iPhone owners will have more information on the state of their battery and how long it will last before needing to be replaced. You may now check if the battery is in proper condition using a new option that Apple introduced to the settings called "Battery."

Cars with dual-screen integration will find it easier to utilize the driving-friendly function thanks to the iOS 17.4 update.
5. Allow third party apps
With the release of iOS 17.4, European iPhone owners will no longer be able to open online applications on their home screen, even if the new regulations have brought about certain new capabilities for them. Apple is compelled to impose this restriction as it needs to let third-party browser engines to function in the area.
After the beta version has been thoroughly tested and all issues have been fixed to provide steady performance, the iOS 17.4 update is anticipated to release in March, which is just a few weeks away.
