One of the gazillion reasons to hate Apple! When switching to the new avatar backend, we introduced support for "web images" according to Rails -- which in turn basically just relies on MIME types and standards.
Apple's "High Efficiency Image Codec" somehow managed to get approved as "web image" in that standard, but those money-greedy bastards of course didn't release their codec properly. So while it's technically adhering to the standard, in practice most browsers don't support it because they don't know how to decode the image stream client-side.
Now we have to fall back to hard-blocking HEIC files, sigh...
