Today, Apple released the official version update of iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6. The version number is 18F72.
iOS 14.6 / iPadOS 14.6 laid the foundation for Apple Music’s new features, including Dolby Atmos (Spatial Audio) and lossless audio. It ought to provide support in June this year.
Apple said that spatial audio will provide an immersive audio experience, while lossless audio will provide higher quality music. At the time of release, thousands of tracks will support spatial audio, and over 20,000 songs will support lossless audio. By the end of this year, 75 million songs will support lossless audio.
For AirTags, the beta version adds a new feature that allows users to enter an email address as a contact method in Lost Mode instead of a phone number. In iOS 14.5, there is no option to use email, and Apple only allows the use of phone numbers.
iOS 14.6 will launch the Apple Podcast subscription service for the first time. This service was first announced at the Apple conference in April.
