 @adamsilverstein I have not tested MacOS 13, but the AVIF support in iOS16
 unfortunately does not include HDR AVIF images. Viewing my site on an
 iPhone / iPad will show the HDR content clipped.

 Having HDR AVIF in WebKit ultimately is critical, because it is required
 for iOS Chrome, etc. Given Apple has shipped hundreds of millions of HDR
 screens (they are way ahead of the game), I would assume they could flip
 the switch for HDR image support at any time. Once they do, most Apple
 devices bought in the last 4 years would support it and I expect that
 could be something of an inflection point for this to start really taking
 off.

 But, WebKit support for standard AVIF allows significant reduction in file
 size, which is huge and beneficial for any site.
