Apple has released lossless and spatial audio for users in India. With the update, users will listen to all 75 million songs in Apple Music in lossless audio quality and thousands of songs with spatial audio with Dolby Atmos.
Users will need to go to the music tab in their settings to switch on Dolby Atmos and select the network configurations to stream these files. On Apple Music, you will be able to see clear tags for Lossless and Spatial audio.
Lossless audio files are those that store all the original data when the song was recorded and are usually lost when it is compressed. So lossless files occupy much more data when streamed and also use more space on devices. However, it is not possible to offer a lossless experience over Bluetooth. To switch on lossless, users can go to Music in settings, tap audio quality and turn it on. They can also choose the audio quality for streaming and downloading audio. Users can listen to lossless on an iPhone or iPad, but only wired connections to headphones or speakers. AirPods support AAC, but not lossless.
