The AOM membership and the VP8 support may even be related. If Apple's assuming risk from submarine patents, etc. inherent in shipping an AV1 implementation, VP8 is something like a subset of it, so they can get that "for free".
The post talks about how iPhone 7's have worse battery life with VP8, which I'm sure is true, but it's still kinda funny because...it's Apple quasi-complaining here, and Apple who can solve the lack of acceleration, at least for future products.
