We continue to scrutinize iOS 11 for you, and in Actualidad iPhone We are not going to allow you to miss anything in terms of the most rigorous current events in the Apple environment. As you well know, Cupertino signature products are often preferred by producers and sound professionals, something that Apple has always been able to reward by looking out for the interests of this type of user.
The latest news has just arrived in the new beta of iOS 11 in the best possible way, and that is browsing Files, the new file manager, we have been able to realize that it is now possible to play lossless audio.
It is not something strictly new what a user of Reddit, the reality is that iTunes was already compatible with audio in FLAC format for a long time, at least iOS 10 already allowed it, however, we would have to resort to applications developed by third parties (not those of the operating system) if we wanted to get something out of this type of audio content to which we are referring. However, things are going to change quite quickly thanks to the file manager that iOS 11 brings by default.
However, in iDownloadBlog They have tried to AirDrop a song in FLAC format and the notification warned that they will have to resort to third-party applications. At least this type of playback is not enabled or integrated beyond the new Files application, so we will have to go through Box, Dropbox or iCloud Drive if we want to integrate music in FLAC format to our iPhone. Nevertheless, We remind you that we are still in the first of the iOS 11 betas, which means that it could undergo changes in the coming weeks, both integrating the FLAC format throughout the operating system, and getting rid of it even in Files.
Will we see an iPhone 8 capable of playing hi-fi audio, 3D audio and surround ??? as well as the LG V20, HTU 11 and the NOKIA 9 ??? I also think that it should support other lossless formats like "DSD, AIFF, APE and ALAC" in addition to dvc audio, AIFF, aptX, HE-AAC, LC-AAC, SBC, PCM, LDAC
