AVIF Images in iOS 16.0’s Safari

I noticed that some of my (album cover) photos don’t display in Safari on the newly released iOS 16. Xe Iaso had already posted about problems, as well. To me, it looks like the exact same issue: AVIF images encoded with go-avif appear broken.

As there is a WebKit bug report now, I’m wondering whether the encoding is actually the problem, as the images have also been showing fine in Firefox and Chrome.

Update

The issue is fixed in iOS 16.1’s Safari:

Fixed some AVIF images not rendering because of their container format.

(Changing the “major brand” from mif1 to avif in the file type box of the images would have also worked.)
