With this next version of the desktop OS due this fall, Apple is aiming for device synergy. The next version of macOS will be nicknamed Monterey-it follows Apple's recent habit of naming macOS releases after beautiful parts of California, though the name is a bummer for anyone who had their money on Buttonwillow or Manteca. That means you’ll be able to watch Apple TV in full object-based-surround sound with headphones on, a feature I can see taking off among new parents who want to crank up movie night without waking the little ones. (It’s currently limited to a few albums by big-name artists.) It remains to be seen whether Atmos-mixed music will take off, but it is exciting that TVos will also soon get spatial audio. In addition, both pairs of premium headphones benefit from Apple’s system-wide improvements to the find-my network, with a new proximity view that lets you know when you’re getting close, and an exciting option that will show a notification if your iPhone senses that you’ve left your headphones behind.īoth pairs of headphones support spatial audio via Dolby Atmos, and today Apple announced that Atmos-mixed music is now available on Apple Music. Siri will also be able to announce a wider range of time-sensitive notifications, like dinner deliveries-you can use which apps to enable in an upcoming settings menu. With the feature on, people will be able to hear conversations more clearly and tune out ambient noise. People with mild hearing loss will soon be able to use a “conversation boost” mode, which uses audio processing in combination with the beamforming mics on the earbuds and headphones. Perhaps the most exciting feature is that they can now serve as low-powered hearing aids. Both pairs of Apple’s noise-canceling headphones will see significant improvements via software updates in the near future.
