Safari has decided to support the AVIF image format in the future.
The official WebKit page says:

"Added support for AVIF images on macOS Ventura and iOS 16"

The major web browsers, Chrome and Firefox, already support the AVIF image format.
AVIF is even more compressed than WebP, so it is expected to be a very important file format for web authors.

The AVIF export feature of Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer has become a very high priority.

Echoing the previous post - upcoming support in Safari: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/apple-endorses-new-avif-photos-for-a-faster-web-on-ios-16/

Would be great to see publishing to AVIF supported in Affinity Photo. Along with browsers, seeing that service providers (storage, CDNs, etc.) are adding support for AVIF delivery, as well...

I will add my voice to the noise - I've started to come across AVIF more and more lately especially for HDR, other participants have presented many strong reasons to develop this, while WEBP is nice, it doesn't do HDR so it's less than ideal for some of us.

Please don't let this fall on deaf ears, it's important for a lot of us.

This is becoming a real life problem as more and more websites use AVIF image format. While AVIF images were sparse to years ago, they are now the default image format on all ikea websites worldwide and I frequently run into them when using the web. That is a good thing, it is just, that we are falling behind when it comes to using Affinity Photo :(
