iPhone 12 users get a welcome surprise as iOS 17.4 includes support for faster 15W wireless charging using the Qi2 standard.
When Apple released iOS 17.4 earlier this month, it brought plenty of changes to iPhone handsets in the European Union where Apple was forced to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The update allows users with an iPhone purchased in one of the 27 EU member countries to sideload apps from a third-party app store, use non-WebKit browsers on the iPhone, pick a third-party mobile payment platform to use instead of Apple’s, and pay for in-app purchases using a third-party payment processing platform. These are just a few of the changes that took place in the EU with iOS 17.4.
The update also added new options for those using the Stolen Device Protection feature; the latter protects iPhone owners by requiring them to verify their identity using Face ID or Touch ID to allow certain changes to be made to an iPhone.
