Yeah, this is only great news because expectations for Apple are so low. If they'd introduced this years ago along with the other browsers, we'd already be talking about the next formats.

I mean, I know Safari tends to move at their own pace, but the idea that Safari was grossly late on this? FF support came in 65 (jan 19), Edge (late fall 18). There has been very competent fall back long before that. So in 2 yrs, all the major browser venders (Edge, FF + Safari) outside of Chrome provided support. Considering we've been using JPEGs for almost 30 yrs, I think 2 yrs for webp support is pretty quick.
