Apple Music Lossless audio and spatial release date

Fans who have attended the Apple WWDC 2021 mega online event yesterday will know that the organisation clearly mentioned that both the features would arrive “today”. However, evidently, it took them a few hours after the event to roll out the update. But, the good news is, you can simply update your operating system to iOS 15 and start enjoying the new Apple Music that allows you to stream select tracks both in standard lossless/CD-quality audio and high-resolution lossless.

Moreover, you must be aware of the fact that the lossless audio files will be taking a considerable amount of storage space on your device when downloaded. Also, if you are streaming these files online, you need to have good internet or you might just exhaust your data limit as they take more data if compared to streaming normally. But, the bright side is that you have a choice over how you want to listen to your favourite tracks. Meaning, the standard AAC streaming remains the default unless you switch your preference to lossless in the Music app section of iOS settings.

As per the official statement by Apple on the WWDC 2021 event, the Apple Music app will have over 20 million songs available in lossless quality at launch, but the organisation promises to bring with the entire catalog of over 75 million tracks by the end of 2021. Besides this, the lossless audio feature is exclusive to Apple Music. Users will be able to enjoy the new Apple Music update on various devices such as the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV 4K. HomePod and HomePod Mini will soon be getting this amazing feature in the future software update
