Yes, Apple has introduced several changes related to capture APIs at WWDC. Here are some of the key updates:

  1. Audio Capture Enhancements: In the session "Enhance your app’s audio recording capabilities," new API updates were introduced for input device selection, audio capture, and playback. This includes the ability to change the active audio source within your app and enhancements for using AirPods in a high-quality recording mode. Additionally, there are updates for Spatial Audio Capture and new features for processing audio (Enhance your app’s audio recording capabilities).

  2. Camera Capture Controls: The session "Enhancing your camera experience with capture controls" introduced new features such as AVCapture event interaction, which supports primary actions triggered by AirPods stem clicks. This allows users to remotely capture photos without interacting with their phones. The session also covered how to map physical button gestures to camera actions, providing a more intuitive user experience (Enhancing your camera experience with capture controls).

  3. Cinematic Video Capture: In "Capture cinematic video in your app," a new property was added to enable cinematic video capture, allowing apps to output cinematic video with disparity data metadata for non-destructive editing (Capture cinematic video in your app).

These updates provide developers with more tools and flexibility to enhance audio and video capture capabilities in their apps.
