So what Apple could do? Meet AirPods Max 2 As the company didn’t introduce a new codec, like Sony’s LDAC which streams over 990 kbps, the only hope for Apple users was if the AirPods Max would be able to reach a Lossless quality while wired.Īs the company stated in a support document, it’s not possible to stream Lossless quality with the AirPods Max even when it’s wired, because it uses a Lightning port:Ībout AirPods Max, Apple confirms it doesn’t stream lossless and Hi-Res Lossless over Bluetooth but with the Lightning to 3.5 mm audio cable, this headphone will deliver an “exceptional audio quality, however, given the analog to digital conversion in the cable, the playback will not be completely lossless.” When Apple introduced Apple Music Lossless it wasn’t expected that any AirPods product would be able to stream in this quality for a very simple reason: all AirPods use Bluetooth and this technology can only stream 320kbps MP3 at maximum.Īpple, for example, uses 256 kbps AAC. This is why I teamed up with my colleague Parker Ortolani to create this idea of an iPod Max to pair with AirPods Max. It’s important to note that there aren’t any reliable rumors or even iOS code suggesting Apple is, in fact, preparing a revamped iPod, especially a new approach to the iPod Classic design. With the company introducing Apple Music Lossless, an iPod with this focus could be a great way to celebrate this anniversary. As for now, the only iPod being sold by Apple is the seventh-generation touch model.
The original iPod is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2021.
