The change to 888 no doubt was influenced by the Chinese. Chinese has always idolize the number 8 which if it's spoken roughly translated into "rich" or "I'm rich" if repeatedly correctly.

Companies supporting AV1: Amazon, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple, ARM, Facebook, Cisco, Google, Microsoft, Netflix, Samsung, Adobe, Hulu, BBC, Alibaba Group, Broadcom, Realtek, Vimeo.

Companies not supporting AV1: Qualcomm 🤡🤡🤡 Seriously no AV1 for a 2021 SoC is a big fail.

Also doubtful if aptX Adaptive is supported over BLE radio/LE audio spec or it's either/or: aptX Adaptive over Classic Bluetooth OR BLE audio with LC3 codec. Bcoz until then you won't get the best of both Bluetooth worlds: low/negligible latency + long battery life for wireless earphones.
