Will ipad ever support mkv hardware encoding?

For example 4k and 8k videos ?

I doubt it, given they’ve just switched to HEVC.

MKV is also a container format and doesn’t relate to a specific video compression so it’s probably not simple to add support.

As mentioned, MKV is just a container. Newer chipsets (at least A10, maybe A9 too?) already support H.265/HEVC hardware encoding.
