When Apple introduced Apple Music Lossless it wasn’t expected that any AirPods product would be able to stream in this quality for a very simple reason: all AirPods use Bluetooth and this technology can only stream 320kbps MP3 at maximum.Īpple, for example, uses 256 kbps AAC. This is why I teamed up with my colleague Parker Ortolani to create this idea of an iPod Max to pair with AirPods Max. It’s important to note that there aren’t any reliable rumors or even iOS code suggesting Apple is, in fact, preparing a revamped iPod, especially a new approach to the iPod Classic design. With the company introducing Apple Music Lossless, an iPod with this focus could be a great way to celebrate this anniversary. As for now, the only iPod being sold by Apple is the seventh-generation touch model. The original iPod is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2021.
