> Disappointingly, apple's just-released new appletv does not appear to support AV1

Apple's planning native AV1 decode support for a future iOS 16 release.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coremedia/1564239-...

When Apple deployed support for HEVC in 2017, all devices that supported iOS/tvOS 11 or macOS High Sierra gained the ability to play HEVC video (some via hardware, some via software). Something very similar will happen when Apple deploys AV1 support.



That developer page isn’t really assuring with the version numbering. Was there ever an “iPadOS 4.0”?


iPad OS 4.0 aka iOS 4.0. When Apple renames an OS, the change is retroactive in their documentation. See also "macOS 10.7" on the same page.


Seems they took quite a bit more inspiration from 1984 than that classic commercial might indicate at first :) .
