Apple’s dropping a big update for AirPods Max in April with iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4—lossless and ultra-low latency audio are finally coming!
The catch? It’s only for the USB-C version of the AirPods Max, and it’s a free firmware update. The older Lightning model misses out because it can’t handle lossless audio over a wired connection.
With the new update, Apple says the AirPods Max will get way better for music production, gaming, and live streaming thanks to that ultra-low latency mode.
Apple’s also selling a new USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable for RM219. Handy for plugging your AirPods Max into plane seats or connecting your iPhone/iPad to speakers or car stereos with a headphone jack.
You can grab it from Apple’s online store, the Apple Store app, or authorised resellers starting today.
