One of the new functions that iOS 14 brought us was the spatial audio for the AirPods. A new way of listening to content that undoubtedly surprises. However, it is limited to Apple content although they are open to third parties to take advantage of the function. According to the latest information leaked by deiPhoneSoft, a Netflix developer would have confirmed that soon we will be able to see Netflix content with spatial audio.
It must be said that right now this new feature of Space Audio is only available for Apple TV +, Hulu (in the United States), and Disney +. Netflix could be the next on the list that adds the possibility that we can listen to the audio of its series and movies by taking advantage of the spatial audio of the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. A function that allows us to immerse ourselves in the video that we are watching and that the audio moves next to our head taking advantage of the gyroscope of our iPhone. Now, it is important to emphasize that spatial audio is only compatible with AirPods Pro and Max, and only with iPhone 7 or later models, and current iPads.
There is no exact date of when we could have this new feature available, but yes, Like Dolby Atmos, it could be limited to the more premium Netflix users, that is, to those who pay the most. A good news without a doubt, although we would like Apple to implement this spatial audio on Apple TV since it is the device where more video content is consumed, however, we must take into account the limitations and that the "brain" of this spatial audio is the gyroscopes of our iPhone or iPad. And you, Have you tried spatial audio with Apple TV + or Disney +? Do you use it when viewing content on your iPhone or iPad?
