Apple Music Hi-Fi and Third-Gen AirPods Rumored to Launch in Coming Weeks
May. 1, 2021In February, the Swedish music streaming giantSpotify revealed its plans to introduce a Hi-Fi CD-quality, lossless audio tierlater this year. If a new report is anything to go by, it looks like Apple is planning to follow suit and introduce an Apple Music Hi-Fi tier, probably even before Spotify does.
The rumorcomes from Hits Daily Double(viaMacRumors) citing music label sources. As per the report, Apple is likely to announce the new Hi-Fi tier in the coming weeks. One key factor worth noting here is the price. While Spotify Hi-Fi is expected to be costlier than its regular plans,Apple Music may offer Hi-Fi at the same $9.99 price point.
When Apple Music and Spotify get Hi-Fi tier, we could expect Tidal to take a hit. Tidal’s unique selling point is Hi-Fi audio and is the go-tomusic streaming servicefor Hi-Fi audio right now. Apart from Tidal, Amazon Music offers Hi-Fi audio streaming in some regions.
So, will you consider switching to Apple Music for Hi-Fi audio at the same cost? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
