The sadly ironic part of all of this is that likely all of these devices have hardware HEVC decode support built into the SoC (which started with Apple's A8/A8X), but it's not used because of stupid licencing issues. It's a total #$&*@$ mess.
My $160 Mi Max plays 1080p HEVC with zero issues and there's no pesky iTunes to deal with on file transfers across USB. Video on a whole is a zillion times better on Android.
