Spatial Audio

Last year Apple brought Spatial Audio to the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max with iOS 14, and this year that’s going to expand into the Apple TV with tvOS 15 and the Mac with macOS 12 — but only for those with an M1 Mac.

While Spatial Audio will be available in FaceTime through the built-in speakers on Intel Macs from 2018 and later, the more advanced Spatial Audio on Apple’s high-end AirPods — which will also include dynamic head tracking and deliver a theatre-like sound experience — is only going to be available on models with the M1 chip.
