Really? Which industries? Who, other than Apple, uses HEVC?
HEVC is a standard produced by industry, sure but it's not an industry standard as no industry that I'm aware of actually uses it. You can't put it on a Blu-Ray, you can't broadcast it and you can't stream it over the internet so that's pretty much the entire consumer content industry for one.
The HEVC patent holders _want_ it to be an industry standard but it's not yet and I hope it never is. I really want AOM to kick its ass with AV1 so we don't have to deal with patent encumbered video codecs again.
HEVC is an industry standard for broadcast television and is already available today on most platforms: OSX, iOS, PS4 Pro, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Windows etc.
It is available on 4K Blu-Ray, HEVC content is widely available on Torrent sites and on commercial sites e.g. iTunes.
