I wonder if these new devices will finally have support for the elusive APV codec.

The link you posted says Android 16 support. Why wouldn't Pixel run it?

This codec needs hardware support to be practical (ie recording live video rather than just transcoding). So far, I think that's only available on certain Samsung models.
