Apple might have made a deal with one or more major h.265 patent holders that discourages them from fully supporting av-1, similar to how Google pays apple nine digits a year to keep Google search default in the Apple ecosystem.
Court action could compel any deal like this to be made public.
- MBCook 4y agoHonestly, being Apple, it could 100% be a “screw Google, it doesn’t hurt us” move without any direct financial incentive. They’ve done it many times before (though usually in the Steve Jobs era).
- hatware 4y ago> similar to how Google pays apple nine digits a year I couldn't believe this and looked it up. It's $9 billion. Which is ten digits. Good god.
