Most clients will request transcodes in H264. TV boxes (Roku, Android TV) may request HEVC. AV1 does work on most modern mobile devices. Except if you throw in ASS or PGS subtitles. Can often lead to transcoding since they need to be burned in.

Which iPhone client are you using? JF Mobile or Swiftfin?

Chrome and Edge supposedly support HEVC, but I haven't had any luck actually making that happen. Pretty sure the same is true for WebOS.

Jellyfin 10.10.7 (Docker)
Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS w/HWE
Intel i3 12100
Intel Arc A380
OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
Storage
4x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1
