Explained: the Bluetooth tricks Apple could use for higher-res streaming
Music aficionados have been wondering whether Apple would add wireless lossless sound over Bluetooth to its future earbuds, and rumors have suggested that AirPods Pro 2 will be where it starts.
So if it happens, I very much doubt it will be with any existing technologies. At least… not without these existing technologies. What I do think will happen is that Apple will use some of the same concepts that are used by these systems with some unique Apple tech thrown in too. So let's talk tech.1.

To deliver perfect-sounding audio, you need a very reliable connection. That's why audiophiles love wired headphones: you can't get much more consistent than a big ol' cable. Bluetooth 5 has a maximum data rate of 2Mbps, but that's only really possible when right next to your device with a clear line of sight. So LDAC is designed to never exceed 1Mbps – that means that fully 50% of Bluetooth's maximum speed can be lost and you'll still get music at full quality.
