The differences between iOS 16 and iOS 17 are not directly covered in the provided context. However, I can share some updates from iOS 17 to iOS 18 based on the context provided:
-
HDR Imaging: iOS 17 introduced the ability to adjust HDR images to a lower headroom using ITU default global tone mapping techniques. In iOS 18, Apple developed a new reference wide tone mapping operator that improves output quality, reducing highlight clipping and maintaining better color reproduction.

Privacy Enhancements: iOS 18 offers more transparency and control over access to local networks, Bluetooth, and contacts. It introduces a new flow for sharing contacts, allowing users to select which contacts to share and providing more granular control over app access.
-
UIKit Improvements: iOS 18 brings enhancements to UIKit, including improvements to transitions, animations, and tab bars. It also introduces a new document launch experience and better integration with SwiftUI.
-
Device Management: iOS 18 includes updates for device management, such as new controls for eSIM transfers, support for multiple private cellular network payloads, and the ability to lock and hide apps using Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode.
-
Customization and Controls: iOS 18 introduces new APIs for creating customizable controls that can be added to the control center, enhancing user interaction with apps.
