Yes, there are new features in SwiftUI MapKit, including enhancements related to clustering. In the session titled "Unlock the power of places with MapKit" from WWDC 2024, it was mentioned that MapKit has added features that enable you to bring places into your apps in new ways, such as referencing places using an identifier and showing details about a place in your app's UI. However, specific details about clustering were not mentioned in the provided context.
