Big Changes for the EU
Most people around the world can use all of iOS 17.4’s new features, but folks in the European Union got the best part of it. Thanks to some new regulations in the EU, all countries that are part of it can now use alternative app marketplaces on their iPhones. That means you don’t need to solely rely on the App Store; you can find other app stores and find different apps at different prices.
People who are part of the EU will also be able to use other wallet apps to make payments using the iPhone’s NFC chip, so you won’t have to be stuck with Apple Pay anymore.
This is just the tip of the iceberg; there are plenty of more new things you’ll be able to enjoy if you’re in the EU.
