Apple RAW 9 Overhauling RAW Processing Pipeline in iOS/macOS 27

Apple's RAW 9 pipeline lands with iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 later this year, the first major revision since RAW 8 in 2017. The update processes demosaicing and denoising in a single simultaneous pass rather than separate sequential steps, with Apple claiming cleaner noise reduction and sharper detail as a result. Worth noting: apps that run their own RAW pipelines, Adobe's included, won't use it.
