aptX support on Mac Mini?

I understand that Apple is trying to force AAC as the standard audio codec on Apple devices but I am searching for a definitive answer to the question of whether a 2020 M1 Mac Mini running Ventura will support aptX Bluetooth codec since older generations of Macs supported it. AAC will support aptX but not over Bluetooth. Also, on older Macs I used to be able to press (option-right click) on the bluetooth symbol at the top of the screen and it would tell you which codec is currently in use. That doesn't seem to work in Ventura. I suspect Apple has removed the aptX option in Ventura. Can someone confirm?

Mac mini, macOS 13.0

aptX has been removed since Monterey.


The Bluetooth Explorer.app provided by Apple and the terminal commands involving bluetoothaudiod don't work either anymore (they were used to manually enable the aptX).
