The newer iPhone models actually capture their images as JPEG XL and they have retired their HEIC images. All of Apple’s software has full native support for JPEG XL as well.

are you archiving it until the patents expire? I use AV1 because of the license

I’m not really worried about the licensing of the codec I use for my personal archive. Even if I was worried, I would use h264 or VP9 before I used AV1.

I don’t disagree about archiving. Though for a local collection, I think the space savings of AV1 are worth it.
Especially for grainy footage, which is extra costly in h265. The noise analysis and synthesis in AV1 is killer, IMHO. But of course… it’s not the same noise.

Hard drives are cheap and are only getting cheaper! If you are talking about proxy media, AV1 might be good for that with fast enough hardware support.
The noise synthesis thing is interesting. I have played with it, and it definitely works as advertised, but I’m not sure how I feel about relying on it.
