iPad Pro 10.5 not supporting spatial audio feature with airpods pro

Any plans to add Spatial Audio support to the iPad Pro 10.5”?

When using AirPods Pro I noticed this model is not supported.

It has a faster processor than and was released after the iPhone 7 which is supported, so I don’t see why it shouldn’t qualify?

thanks in advance

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Apple’s decision to include Spatial Audio within a specific model feature-set are known only to Apple. As you observe, with inclusion of iPhone7 and exclusion of iPad Pro 10.5” within the list of models that support Spatial Audio (both being based upon the A10 CPU), this may might suggest that the CPU alone is not the determining factor.


None of the end-user contributors here have any idea as to whether the Spatial Audio feature may ever be introduced to other models. The Terms of Use that govern participation within the Apple Support Communities specifically prohibit any speculation.
