Does iPhone support LDAC codec for bluetooth?

I am planning to buy Sony wh 1000xm2 which has best performance using LDAC codec, does the iPhone 6s plus support LDAC codec?

Hi.

As far as I'm concerned the iPhones do not support LDAC.

Hi,

What about iPhone 8plus?

And does the 1000mx2 support Apple new audio codec FLAC?

Thanks

The FLAC playback will still be downscaled to AAC when streaming over bluetooth. There's no bluetooth codec than can directly stream FLAC over bluetooth.
