Does the iOS 18 beta expand the supported RAW formats in Photos?

What it says on the tin. Is anyone aware of expanded supported RAW formats in the upcoming OS? I got me one of them thar fancy Fujifilm cameras (X100VI) and iOS 17 doesn’t support its .RAF files. Serendipitously Photomator added support a few weeks ago! So I do have a decent workaround for now.
 
You could convert them with the free Adobe DNG converter app. I just checked, and they do directly support Fuji's RAF files - amonst hundreds of others

Digital Negative (DNG)

DNG is a publicly available archival format for storing camera raw files. Adobe DNG Converter is a free utility that converts files from more than 350 cameras to DNG.

Can’t do that on my iPad. :)

Answering my own question. With the release of the public beta I can confirm that it does not support the uncompressed RAW files from the X100VI. At least not yet. Fingers crossed that support comes before the final release.
 
Another update. The RAW formats supported by iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and Sequoia are exactly the same as the previous version OSes. The support documents are identical (minus the formatting difference of the list).
