> Added WebRTC support for hardware AV1 decoding on supported device configurations.
Currently no Apple device has hardware AV1 decoding, so why support it in Safari iOS Beta? Perhaps next CPUs (A17 and M3) will have dedicated AV1-decoding hardware? Either way I think this is a hint it may be supported soon.
They may still be able to offer optimized decoding with hardware support on older devices. Not a full hardware path but a very well optimized CPU + hardware combo.

Great news!
