Apple is a member of the MPEG-LA patent pool, and receives a cut of the H.265 royalties. They support AV-1 only reluctantly, likely due to pressure from content providers like Netflix and YouTube.
- dehrmann 6y agoAh, so that might be why they stubbornly refuse to support VP9 on iPhones.
- temp667 6y agoThat is interesting! I'd always been confused WHY Apple with its focus on audio / video wasn't pushing more here for some better open standards. The AV1 support is obviously a step though in the right direction.
