Lossless and spatial audio with Dolby Atmos support finally comes to the HomePod and HomePod mini after launching on Apple Music in June.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple Music announced lossless and spatial audio with Dolby Atmos as a free upgrade to all paying subscribers earlier this year.<\/a> At the time, Apple said support would come to HomePod mini<\/a> and the (now discontinued) original HomePod<\/a> later in the year. In July lossless<\/a> and spatial audio support<\/a> were spotted in the HomePod 15 beta. Despite being pushed back, HomePod 15.1 released to all on Monday finally brings the two features to the HomePods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lossless audio<\/a> enables high-fidelity music streams and downloads on Apple Music. As higher bitrates are required for lossless audio, ensure you have the bandwidth and no data limits. Spatial audio<\/a> with Dolby Atmos provides a 3D surround experience from speakers or a pair of headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To update manually, head to the Home app on your device, select the HomePod, then scroll down to find the update prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
