  • New AirPods Pro with improved features & better battery life debut

    Where is the details on the lossless???

    So, they support Bluetooth 5.3 which makes them compatible with LC3plus but this isn’t lossless and they haven’t confirmed this is present or coming.

  • Everything new in tvOS 12 beta 2: Dolby Atmos arrives on Apple TV 4K

    A shortlist of movies already register as having Atmos on iTunes but allegedly they don’t all offer it yet when played on the Apple TV.

    Allegedly, Blade Runner 2049 has working Atmos. I’m too cheap to pay for it to find out. I would pay for Ready Player One though but it’s preorder only.

  • Why the new AirPods Pro 2 are needed for Apple Vision Pro lossless audio

    20-bits? Where did that come from? I’d get 24-bits as that’s what most major artists release their lossless tracks in, but 20-bits? That’s a weird downscale. They’d be better off running with 16-bits. I could see them doing 24-bit/48Khz as most content is either 24/44.1 or 24/48. But nothing is 20/48. Is that a typo?

    There is no 5Ghz Bluetooth. It has to be something else, e.g. Wi-Fi or something entirely proprietary. They’ve cleared added a 5Ghz radio to the revised H2 but it can’t be Bluetooth unless they’ve got a world exclusive on a future version of Bluetooth… and that would be huge news. Anything they do with any radio frequency must be publicly declared. 5Ghz is primarily reserved for Wi-Fi. I’d need to research to discover if any other protocols are approved to use it. They appeared to hint at some new protocol. I still suspect it has to be piggybacking on an existing standard or they’d have to have declared it to the FCC and other similar authorities before shipping. They could be using some sort of ah-hoc peer-to-peer 5Ghz Wi-Fi.

    It depends what they’re doing… saying the H2 specialises in audio and somehow that prevents the tech in the current iPhone from also doing it, doesn’t make sense. Digital Audio is still 1’s and 0’s. I can’t believe they’d only deliver lossless on the Vision Pro. That’s too niche. We’re crying out for it on everything else.

  • Why Spatial Audio is the future of the music industry, even if you hate it

    I’m not feeling it. Don’t get me wrong, sounds good on MBP enabled with it and other multi-speaker systems but the TWS implementation has SO far to go.

    This reminds me of 3D movies.

    Those stats from Apple are very manipulative. 1 x 1000 is 1000. Just marketing.

    Qualcomm is adding the head-tracking to all its relevant SoC’s this year. It’s definitely a bandwagon. I can still see the wheels coming off.

  • Purported 'iPhone 7 Plus' packaging shows Lightning to Headphone Jack Adapter in box, 256GB storage

    Surely lightning headphones should be about delivering 24-bit audio?

  • OpenCore and Hackintosh are sadly dead after Apple ends Intel Mac support

    Why wouldn’t Hackintosh folk just shift to ARM64-based PC’s? How much of the instruction set is beyond ARM64 and can’t be compensated for? We should be hearing about macOS 27 on Raspberry Pi 5. 🤣
