- Apple is said to have wireless technology in super high quality in iPhone 17 and AirPods Pro 3
- Lower latency time than bluetooth le, higher quality than ldac
- Designed for multi-unit, multisensory applications
One of the frustrating things about being an Apple headphone owner is that unless you listen via wired second-gen-airpods Max, you can’t get full quality Apple losses on Apple AirPods from any generation. But it seems that is changing – and the technology is already in the iPhone 17 and AirPods Pro 3.
Apple has apparently introduced support to SPR AVS in the latest iPhones and AirPods Pro, and while some of the details are still under packaging, this may be the future of high quality Air Pods.
Why Apple’s audio crusty could deliver serious sound
SPR AVS is far from catchy acronym for spatial relay-audiovisual synchronization, and as a patent, Apple reports that it is designed to replace or work with Bluetooth and AirPlay via Apple’s N1 Wireless Chip and its A19 processor.
Its job is to provide very low latency, high bandwidth communication between Apple devices. The latency is even lower than Bluetooth Le Audio and Snapdragon sound, low enough for real-time tasks, including games and live translation, and the quality is high enough to deliver “real loss-free” soundflow to AirPods Pro 3 and future Apple headphones and earbuds.
It is not quite clear exactly what Patently Apple means with “real loss -free”, but I will assume that it means that ALAC (Apple Lossess Audio Codec) files of Apple Music and any high -quality streaming or game sound can be transferred without re -code or compression. Just the source sound sent to your ears, basically.
Of the crucial importance of Apple, it is also synchronized on multiple devices – so you could have your iPhone, Vision Pro and AirPods Pro 3 that run together for perfect playback. And because it is peer-to-peer-it connecting device to the device without having to undergo a Wi-Fi-router-is it straightforward and helps protect users’ privacy.
So why can’t you use it in Apple Music? The main reason seems to be that Apple is focusing on spatial computing-Vision Pro and its successors-and what patently Apple describes as “multisensory experiences that require close connection between devices.”
This makes sense based on the fact that AirPods Pro 2 actually is Also able to make lossless sound … but only when used with Vision Pro. Apple clearly sees one need For this, it is not anywhere else – and who knows, maybe the new technique is a battery murderer.
This means that the lossless streaming is hopefully a feature that can twist down from the Vision Pro in the end, rather than something that Apple will prioritize for AirPods right now. We live in hope …
