iOS 17.4 has been released to third-party app stores in EU countries. However, it creates controversy among some iPhone users due to battery problems. This update causes problems especially on older models such as iPhone 11 and 11 Pro.

Users complain that iOS 17.4 consumes excessive battery life. However, it is not yet known how widespread the problem is. Apple may release an urgent update to fix a possible iOS 17.4 battery problem.

However, if this problem does not occur in the majority of users, users who experience problems may have to wait for the next iOS update.
