html 5 video tags

Does anyone know of a downside to using html 5 video tags? I had a client using mp4 videos on his mainstream site but they would not play on Apple products so I changed to html 5 video tags in this example:

<video width="640" height="360" poster="http://www.domainsample.com/video-dir/test.jpg" controls>
<source src="http://www.domainsample.com/video-dir/test.mp4" type="video/mp4">Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>


Now the video plays on his iPhone and all browsers. Much simpler than flash and script. I don't see it being used much so I was wondering why.

Sorry, no titty pics.
