Apple exec addresses why only USB-C AirPods Pro 2 offers lossless audio support with Vision Pro – and why it's not available with the iPhone.
) asked him several questions regarding USB-C AirPods Pro 2, including the lossless audio controversy.
Long reply short, Huang tells Tong that the new USB-C AirPods Pro 2 uses a 5Ghz frequency, while the Lightning option only works at 2.4Ghz. The Apple executive says: “To bring lossless and ultra-low latency audio to Vision Pro, many things have to work right. Shorter latency and lossless means bigger bandwidth, so you need a much more pristine wireless pipe to communicate between the two. And with the new AirPods Pro, we are able to run it at 5 GHz, right? While the Lightning model runs at 2.4 GHz, which is quite a messy and noisy airspace. I take Wi-Fi, for example, all the routers you buy today are dual-band or tri-band because 2.
The Apple executive even addresses why the iPhone 15 doesn’t feature a proprietary H2 chip, which would be perfect for these audio possibilities. “The H2 chip is a very audio-focused Bluetooth chip, but, of course, the iPhone Bluetooth chip does a lot more than audio. It thrives AirPods, but it allows you to do communication, allows you to connect to your car, allows you to play multiplayer games, or connect to other accessories. It’s great at audio but also serves a whole lot of other Bluetooth functionalities.” And this is why we are not getting lossless Bluetooth audio with any other Apple device at the moment.
