Still no support in any mobile browser. 35% isn't a lot of coverage. And of course Safari is a holdout -- they haven't even adopted VP9 yet.

Given Apple is an AOM governing member it's pretty likely Apple will eventually support AV1 (and AVIF).

VP9 is simply not on their roadmap at all, it's not a "yet" thing.

and they never will - apple is not interested in vpX codecs. AV1 is different story.
