Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

I can't speak for client capabilities on Apple devices, but what's your server hardware? CPU or GPU transcoding?

I have an AMD GPU in my server and have no issues transcoding AV1 and H265 for my lesser capable clients.

You can also setup Jellyfin in parallel to Plex and give it a whirl.

Usually. When Plex leaked that they were selling user data, I was running Plex server on an Nvidia Shield, a unique build of Plex that ran as a core service of the Android device. There ain't no Jellyfin analogue of that monstrosity.

I have my library serving from an old work M1 Max MacBook because it has a lot of GPU oomph. GPU transcoding is available when needed.
