I loaded these all into a SQLite database so I could explore them with Datasette Lite (Datasette running in WebAssembly).

Here's the result:

You can use this to answer questions like which binaries are new in iOS 17 compared to iOS 16:

Or here's just the binaries in the /System/Library/VideoDecoders folder - it's interesting to compare iOS 1 (just H264H1 and MP4VH1) to iOS 17 (AppleProResHWDecoder, AppleProResSWDecoder, AV1SW, AVD, H264H8, JPEGH1, MP4VH8, VCH263, VCPMP4V) https://lite.datasette.io/?sql=https://gist.github.com/simon...

Details on how I built this here: https://gist.github.com/simonw/0b8a2ddaeab76fe407b08a2b20412...
