UICollectionView is a key component in UIKit, and there have been some updates and improvements related to it as discussed in the WWDC sessions.
In the session titled "What’s new in UIKit," there are several enhancements to UICollectionView, particularly in how it handles list sections and environments. The list environment trait set is introduced, which helps in styling cells appropriately based on the list's style. This trait is used by UIListContentConfiguration and UIBackgroundConfiguration to adjust properties automatically, removing the need to manually configure cell styles based on the list's appearance. This is particularly useful for creating dynamic and adaptive interfaces, such as those seen in the Files app, which uses UICollectionView with compositional layout to display lists in different styles depending on the context (e.g., portrait vs. landscape).
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session What’s new in UIKit (07:44) where list improvements are discussed.
