AirPods Pro 2 — How Apple DESTROYS Bluetooth

from Rene Ritchie

Could Apple Lossless AirPods mean the end of Bluetooth? 🚀 Start for FREE! First 200 get 20% off the annual premium subscription! https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie $550 and the AirPods Max can’t even stream lossless audio. Never mind the $250 AirPods Pro. Why? Because they’re Bluetooth and — wait for it — Bluetooth is lossy. Well, lossy like trying to fit a river through a hose is lossy or… watching the cam version of No Way Home IMAX is lossy. You can have the best source in the multiverse but Bluetooth has such limited bandwidth, is such a narrow pipe, that you just can’t fit real, true lossless audio through it. Including Apple Music Lossless. So, what do you do? Well, if you’re Apple… maybe you kill Bluetooth. MDK it just to watch it die. And then you replace it — or maybe superset it — with a silicon and signal solution that’s just way, way better.
