Apple Music Spatial Audio event announced, to kick off after WWDC keynote

Apple last month announced the Spatial Audio format with Dolby Atmos support for Apple Music subscribers.

Apple WWDC 2021 will kick off today at 10.30 pm IST with the keynote that will see CEO Tim Cook at the centre-stage. Apple will have a lot on its plate to talk about at this event. The new iOS 15, macOS 12, watchOS, tvOS, and even homeOS will be in the spotlight. And amid all this, there is a possibility, Apple’s new Spatial Audio feature for Apple Music may not find as much attention. That is why Apple has announced a Spatial Audio special event slated for after the WWDC keynote. The Apple Music Spatial Audio event will begin at 12 pm PT Monday, June 7, which is 12.30 am IST Tuesday, June 8. The event will take place right after the keynote of WWDC ends. Apple did not talk about this event much, but it quietly teased the special event in a video on Apple Music, which a Twitter user named Kenny spotted first. Apple is likely to release the Spatial Audio on Apple Music at this event, and it comes days after the iPhone maker announced it alongside the new lossless music quality for Apple Music subscribers. Apple will also talk at length during this event and some artists and music personalities may feature. The Spatial Audio means support for Dolby Atmos in simple terms. Apple has prepared a huge catalogue of songs, including titles from some of the world’s biggest artists and titles from different genres, that will be available in Dolby Atmos. Apple has not confirmed what all genres are going to be available in Dolby Atmos first, but Indian subscribers of Apple Music will likely be looking forward to spatial audio for Bollywood and regional songs. Nonetheless, Apple last month said that it is working with various artists and labels to bring more, both old and new, tracks in Dolby Atmos format alongside the regular version.
