Spatial Audio not supported fro IPad Pro 1st Geneartion using IpadOS 14.

You can expect what you want, but clearly Apple has its reasons why not every model may be able to use Spatial Audio, most often because of hardware incompatibility.

Complaining to other users on a user to user only forum however, won't get you anything.

Use this feedback link to let Apple know, but don't expect it to change --> Feedback - iPad - Apple

There is a LOT of confusion about this. First of all, Spatial Audio is for AirPod Pro headphones. It is not a setting on iPhone or iPad and will only work if you have the following iPhone/iPad WITH AirPod Pro headphones:

So you need:

AirPod Pro headphones

And you need one of the following devices:

iPhone 7 or later

iPad Pro 12.9‑inch (3rd generation) and later

iPad Pro 11‑inch

iPad Air (3rd generation)

iPad (6th generation) and later

iPad mini (5th generation)

😂 yes that’s why a 🦕 7 got it and iPad Pro did not that just clearly says it’s not hardware it’s please upgrade which is pretty close to the thing they got in trouble for with batteries and yes I happened to comment on a reply that’s why button is there sorry if you’re upset

I'm not upset at all. I don't even have AirPod Pro's, so I can't use Spatial Audio at all. You're upset because you seem to believe you are "entitled" to a feature your device doesn't support. No one here can help with that.

Oh and this is nothing like what happened with Batteries in any way shape or form. Apple makes it clear every year that when new features are released in iOS, NOT ALL features will work on all eligible devices. This is one such feature which doesn't work on your device. If you want your device to support this feature, Apple will happily sell you one.

The problem is that the audio processing that actually makes spatial audio work is in the AirPods not the device. If the device has the simple capability to connect to AirPods then it should include all of the features, especially because IPad Pro 10.5” isn’t even out of its Guaranteed 5 year grace period most modern apple devices have.

That is ONLY partially (half) true. The device itself uses the gyroscope built in to communicate and take advantage of Spatial Audio. If the device doesn't have the requisite hardware, it won't work.

Apparently Spatial Audio requires at least a 3rd generation iPad Pro 12.9-inch or any generation iPad Pro 11‑inch. If your iPad Pro is a 1st gen 12.9-inch, it is unsupported (as is my 2nd gen).

iOS updates don't suddenly give you built-in features your device never had.

Same here. no spatial audio and auto switch between device function for my iPad Pro 10.5, but works on my iPhone 11.

What bs I’m expecting that to be adjusted based on somebody just wasn’t thinking every ipad pro should be on list

Why don’t you go and ask Apple why they done it.
