More bug fixes, because it is a short 2 or 3 beta with RC cycle. Yes it enabled some features as the OP listed. Like Safari, Mail, Music, Apple TV as examples. 17.4 will have more features again and be 4 or 5 beta cycle with RC. Possibly some hardware associated with it.
Uff who should answer such a question in a meaningful way. There are so many changes under the hood probably that aren’t mentioned in any kind of public changelog.
We could now simply count the number of entries of bugfixes for each version, which is nonsense, too.
Haven’t had a single issue with 17.3 b3 and/or 17.2.
Just update to have a recent version and all should be fine. When your phone is more than 4-5 years old I would understand to stick to older iOS version but for newer phones it should be fine.
It’s boringly solid most things I use a iPhone for. Even the info on recent calls shows now, rather then delayed.
Installed on 13 mini, seems ok, but i still have stutters sometimes, when i drag the control center down. So it seems that i need to upgrade to a new iPhone lol, as they slow down the old ones...
Updating when sideloading arrives, until then keeping older version to allow exploits for jailbreak.
You would think that Stolen Device Protection is enabled by default, but did a fresh setup of an iPhone with fingerprints enrolled.. and nope, it's weirdly opt in, lol.
Considering not verifying your home location and Face ID is working property, why would someone enable that as a default? It should always be an option, especially since it’s likely to see security tweaks that people recommend in 17.4.

For me it is nuisance because cannot use only pin when face access is not viable and i never enter pin when there is possibility to be observed by someone. Yes it should be always optional, always.
It’s a new feature. I could imagine when it’s more common & improved it will become the standard in the future.
Check back on Monday or Tuesday for 17.3 release, or the RC for public beta testers is available.
I have selected a group of photos to cycle through for my lock screen randomly. I have that same set of photos for both my iPhone and iPad, but in both cases both devices only cycle through about five or six of the photos. They should be going through about 30 photos.
