No I'm not confusing it. But I'm definitely no expert. All I know is that especially over the pandemic years probably because of lots of family without newer phones at the time though I could have sworn several were. I kept getting lots of complaints about files not playing it all ended up being about h265. So you are probably right.

I am very much not a Microsoft or apple person.
