      Let’s try this again: in a world where Apple is not a dick, what modern image format do they use that isn’t subject to these same codec requirements?

      If they were doing this just to be dicks, they’d spin off one of their own formats like they did with ALAC. They didn’t, they used HEIC which was also used by Android (which is now using AVIF).

        What other image format supports HDR and modern compression algorithms that don’t require a license?

        There, ftfy. You answer the question.

          1. are you implying that there is indeed no better choice?
          2. webp, but that’s google. jpeg xt, but i see virtually no one adopting that.

          I dunno, JPEG XT maybe? At a loss here.

          Why did Android also use HEIC, did they choose this just to be a dick like Apple?

            Seeing how Android adopted it 4 years later, it’s pretty obvious that Apple made it the de-facto standard. I agree with you, something like JPEG XT or really any other open format would have been a great choice, but they made HEIC the standard, which requires a license. Dick move.
