hard restart alt to fix that!

Nope; did not work. Two hard restarts and still broken.

Siri restart and it’s fixed (so three restarts later).

Running well so far on my iPhone 11.

Not noticing anything new at all here in Switzerland (non-EU).

 

[Gerrrrry]

Does anyone know how the changes to JIT work when it comes to alternative browsers?

 

[nortonandreev]

I guess they’re doing something with the keyboard-related functionality as many correct words in Bulgarian get underlined as mistaken.

Hopefully they fix some of the Safari bugs I've been complaining to them about.

That‘s just the custom YouTube video player?

Tidbit: few people on reddit reported findings like Siri being able to read out notifications with different languages (you are able to specify which languages should be read out).

In for the workaround that is surely to surface for us non-EU residents

Almost certainly no. The side loading is the result of EU legal action. The UK is no longer in the EU and Apple ain’t taking this any farther than it is obligated to.

Confirmed by the BBC, the EU-related changes won’t apply to the UK just yet.

iPhone users in the EU will soon be able to download apps from places other than the App Store.

Not seeing this on my phone.

 

[utkans]

Quick question: I bought my phone in a EU country but I don’t currently live in a EU country. Will EU related changes apply to me?

 

[mcvaughan]

There does seem to be some level of improved visual smoothness in transitions.

👍🏻

 

[Reverend Benny]

Will be interesting to see when or if MS Intune will offer an option from the release day so that I can block users from using the new alternative store that comes with iOS 17.4

 

[Blue Hawk]

Well it was never a secret that Sideloading will only be available in the EU. I‘m more happy to see alternative Browser engines. Can’t wait to use something else than WebKit but only if they offer extensions.

The BBC and tech news are usually distant strangers, I wouldn’t put too much credence on that.

Security delay for Stolen Device Protection

I hope theres more to 17.4 than just the eu changes

This is new in SDP, away from familiar places or always (for masochists)

Ah you just beat me!

The Podcasts app offers transcripts now, looks a lot like the lyrics view in Music but with search, and more:
