Comment (by dd32):

 > Maybe in 3.9 they were GIFs, not sure.
 '''essentially gifs''' - they were video files being used as gifs
 (because, well, most videos are smaller and more efficient than gifs), I
 think the benefits of audio-less autoplay videos on the about screen
 outweighed the potential performance issue for the minority of users.
 As said however, it's unlikely we'll have one this time around, although
 Focus might be able to benefit from a short one.
