Apple needs to convey lossless audio to AirPods utilizing its personal Bluetooth substitute, report says

Apple is as soon as once more regarded as working by itself substitute for Bluetooth in an try to discover a technique to convey lossless audio to its AirPod lineup.

Regardless of the discharge of refreshed AirPods Professional, no wi-fi earbuds or headphones are at present able to transmitting lossless audio over Bluetooth — a problem that’s attributable to the expertise at hand and its lack of bandwidth. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has backed up earlier experiences that Apple intends to go round Bluetooth, permitting it to convey lossless audio to not solely AirPods Professional, however possible AirPods Max and presumably even the usual AirPods.

So lengthy, too sluggish

In his most up-to-date Energy On publication, Gurman mentions that the up to date AirPods Professional proceed to lack lossless audio as a result of Bluetooth “doesn’t have sufficient energy” to deal with it. He goes on to say that “it’s no secret that Apple has been cooking up an answer internally, although: a substitute for Bluetooth that will finally convey the characteristic to future AirPods.”

What that substitute expertise can be, we do not but know. However we heard in Could of 2021 that Apple was wanting into the potential for utilizing AirPlay to attain the identical purpose.

On the time, YouTuber John Prosser claimed that he had been instructed that Apple might add AirPlay assist to AirPods “with a easy replace.” Greater than a yr later, and that’s but to occur and lossless audio stays a characteristic that’s solely out there to those that plug their headphones in. And with Apple’s iPhones now not transport with headphone jacks, that is unlikely to occur.

Apple Music helps lossless audio already, that means it might make loads of sense for Apple to need to discover a technique to provide that to iPhone, Mac, and Apple TV house owners. Nevertheless, Prosser prompt that Apple is cautious of the accusations of anticompetitive habits it’d face ought to it make wi-fi lossless audio a characteristic individuals have to purchase its personal headphones to make use of.
