• The installation of third-party alternatives to the App Store.
• The ability to download web browsers that use web engines other than WebKit.
• Management of default web browser settings.
• The ability for a user to choose alternative payment methods to use in the app store.

Additionally, Apple has put in place measures to prevent all users outside of the EU from accessing any of those features.

These measures include:

• Requiring a user's Apple ID region to be set to one of the EU’s 27 member states.
• Performing routine on-device geolocation checks to ensure a user is physically present within the EU’s borders.
• Making it so that users who travel out of the EU can continue accessing third-party app stores for a grace period of 30 days. Users who are away from the EU for more than 30 days will lose access to these features; they can continue using previously installed apps but are unable to update or install apps from third-party app stores.{{citation|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/118110|title=About alternative app marketplaces in the European Union - Apple Support|access-date=March 6, 2024|archive-date=March 7, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240307031226/https://support.apple.com/en-us/118110|url-status=live}}{{citation|url=https://superchargednews.com/2024/03/05/ios-17-4-dma-geolocation-restricts/|title=Apple details how it's preventing non-EU users from accessing iOS 17.4's expanded app ecosystem - Supercharged|date=March 5, 2024 |access-date=March 6, 2024|archive-date=March 5, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240305201946/https://superchargednews.com/2024/03/05/ios-17-4-dma-geolocation-restricts/|url-status=live}}

iOS 17 requires iPhones with an A12 Bionic SoC{{Efn|iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR}} or later. It drops support for iPhones with an A11 Bionic{{efn|iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X}} SoC, officially marking the end of support for iPhones with a 5.5-inch display. iOS 17 is the first version of iOS to drop support for an iPhone with Face ID and no Home button. The iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generations) are the only supported devices to feature Touch ID and the Home button.
