Does Apple Bluetooth deliver lossless audio or not? This support webpage (About lossless audio in Apple Music - Apple Support )is confusing, in my opinion. It says: Can I listen to lossless audio over Bluetooth? We will deliver music using lossless audio compression to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Lossless will play back normally on Bluetooth speakers and headphones. However, Bluetooth connections don’t support lossless audio. The support page says "We will deliver music using lossless audio compression to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Lossless will play back normally on Bluetooth speakers and headphones." But then the next sentence seems to directly contradict it: "Bluetooth connections don’t support lossless audio." What am I missing here? Thx

Using low energy bluetooth to pair with 2019 MacBook Pro My new Oticon hearing aids pair beautifully with my iPhone 8 using low energy bluetooth. How can I pair with my 2019 MacBook Pro running macOS Catalina 10.15.7? The system report tells me that Bluetooth Low Energy is supported. I have not been able to find any information about how to use this specific feature.

The name you used is correct, abbreviated to "BLE".
