4. New Stolen Device Protection feature
Stolen Device Protection, which adds a layer of protection in the event your iPhone gets stolen, now has an option to implement a delay to any security setting changes if the device detects you're not in a familiar location (e.g., home or work).
5. Siri can read incoming messages in a specific language
In iOS 17.4 beta, you can set Siri to read texts in a specific language, including Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and more.

In addition to these five features, as mentioned at the outset, there are a slew of new updates specifically for EU users, thanks to the DMA. For example, EU users with iOS 17.4 can now access third-party app stores on their iPhone.
Plus, Fortnite, which was notoriously barred from Apple App Store, is now making a return to the Apple App Store. But again, this is only for EU users.
