PNG is a lossless format, it's pretty much pointless for photos. IDK about farbfelt but it seems like a TIFF competitor more than anything else.
This is an (significant) improvement over JPEG.

Wonder how this will work with random websites' photo upload features. Will all other browsers break because they are serving HEVC user-uploaded content? Or will iOS transcode to JPEG on upload (triggering double lossy encoding?)

It would seem the Nokia open source implementation is what's limited by the patent rider. I don't think that applies to the format at large.

How many websites don't already re-encode most of the JPEGs they're handed? Facebook does- Flickr does, though sometimes you can request the original file specifically. Imgur probably does.
