In fact, Apple started rolling out ALAC format support on Apple Music in June 2021, along with spatial audio (Spatial Audio) and Dolby Atmos sound technology. Therefore, if AirPods Pro 2 supports ALAC, Apple Music users will be able to exploit the potential of this music streaming platform.
Also in the analysis, Ming-Chi Kuo also revealed that the AirPods Pro 2 charging case will have the ability to emit sound, increasing the likelihood that it can be found in case it is lost.
Release time, estimated shipment quantity
Matches the news Power On (collected by Mark Gurman – Bloomberg reporter), the second-generation AirPods Pro will be introduced by Apple in the fourth quarter of 2022. In addition, according to Kuo’s estimate, the number of AirPods Pro 2 shipped will reach between 18-22 million devices in 2022.
