Any plans for ALAC bluetooth support?

Hi all,

We know Apple devices use AAC audio codec on bluetooth and Apple has got High Res Audio codec ALAC.

We can listen to Hi Res Audio via device speaker and wired accessories.

Is there any plan to include bluetooth support for ALAC? If not can we add it in the backlog?

Cheers

iPhone 16 + Bluetooth LE Audio for Hearing Aids/Cochlear Implant Does the new iPhone 16 support Bluetooth LE Audio? The website only describes "Bluetooth 5.3," but I can't find more information. Bluetooth LE Audio enhances audio performance for hearing aids and cochlear implants and will enable Auracast in the future. Only a few Android mobiles have this feature (which also allows bimodal streaming), but I hope the new iPhone 16 also supports it. Apple is behind in this tech, and I hoped I wouldn't need to switch.

Cochlear Implant N8 and GN Resound HA Bluetooth Pairing with Macbook I recently paired my Cochlear Implant Nucleus8 and GN Resound Hearing Aid with my new Iphone. I previously just used a fm streamer attachment to my Android phone, and this allowed bluetooth streaming, however with the iphone i do not need the extra attachment I was wondering if my hearing devices can also be directly paired to apple macbook laptops. With out the need for an extra bit of auditory equipment (fm streamer). Just like wireless headphones. Now i use a Dell laptop, and i require that extra piece of equipment to allow a bluetooth stream. However was wondering if I upgrade my laptop to an Apple Macbook, can i get direct streaming to hearing devices without the need of the FM streamer Thoughts?

No one here in this user-to-user forum would know Apple's plans for the future. You can, however, let Apple know what you'd like to see here:
