Apple AirPods Max Update for Lossless Audio

Apple is set to release a new firmware update for AirPods Max with USB-C, enabling 24-bit, 48kHz lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio available through a wired connection using a USB-C cable. This update coincides with iOS 18.4 and allows Apple Music subscribers to access its entire library in lossless format. Despite marketing claims, Apple states the difference between its AAC format and lossless audio is minimal. Apple also announced new Beats-branded charging cables that support fast charging and data transfer with a durable, tangle-free design available in several colors. These developments reflect Apple's ongoing efforts to enhance user experience by integrating advanced audio capabilities and versatile accessory options.
