iOS 17 introduced several features and improvements, particularly in the realm of HDR image handling and device management. Here are some highlights:

  1. HDR Image Handling: Since iOS 17, the operating system has been able to adjust HDR images to a lower headroom using ITU default global tone mapping techniques. This year, Apple has developed a new reference wide tone mapping operator that preserves output quality better than the default one, reducing highlight clipping and maintaining color reproduction. This new global tonemapper is used for ISO HDR files across iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS.

  2. Device Management: iOS 17 introduced features like multi-app mode for iPad, which includes secondary apps such as notepads and spreadsheets. Additionally, there were improvements in domain capture in Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager, making it easier to deploy managed Apple accounts.
