Apple Music has recently introduced two exciting features for music lovers: Hi-Fi audio and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos. These features enable users to enjoy a more immersive and realistic sound quality on their devices. Here are some details about these new additions to Apple’s online music service:
- Hi-Fi audio stands for high-fidelity audio, which means that the music is streamed at a higher bitrate and resolution than standard quality. This results in a clearer and richer sound that preserves more details and nuances of the original recording.
- Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos is a technology that creates a three-dimensional sound field around the listener, making them feel like they are in the middle of the music. This enhances the depth, clarity, and directionality of the sound, creating a more engaging and lifelike listening experience.
- These features are available on Apple Music at no extra cost for subscribers, and they are compatible with a wide range of devices, such as iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple TVs, AirPods, and other headphones and speakers.
- To access these features, users need to update their devices to the latest software version. Now, enable them in the settings. They can also find a curated selection of songs and albums that support Hi-Fi audio and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos in the Apple Music app.
