Apple Music Set to Bring Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos to its 75-million Strong Catalogue
After dropping multiple hints over the past few weeks, Apple Music has announced that it is set to introduce cutting-edge sound quality to subscribers by bringing Spatial Audio.
The next-generation sound on Apple Music will be supported by Dolby Atmos and rolled out to Apple’s entire audio catalog in June 2021.
The arrival of Spatial Audio will give Apple an edge over Spotify in HD audio. Besides, due to this recent development, Spotify is tipped to lose a considerable amount of global market share.
