Apple boucle le développement de ses systèmes iOS et iPadOS avec leur version 17.4 qui passe en release candidate. Le réglement des marchés numériques (DMA) démarrant la semaine prochaine en Europe, les versions finales devraient être disponibles à temps. En revanche tvOS 17.4 a besoin d'une cinquième bêta.

C'est surtout iOS 17.4 qui est intéressant ici, puisqu'il intègre les modifications imposées par l'Europe. En plus de l'ajout de tout le nécessaire pour la mise en place du DMA, cette version sonne le glas des web apps (PWA) en Europe. Cette version est tellement importante qu'Apple a même dû supprimer certaines fonctions de tvOS pour les HomePod, qui semblent finalement repoussées à la prochaine version.

Les notes de version d'iOS 17.4, encore en anglais.
