I noticed that the Apple spatial (atmos) tracks are AAC; which means they are using lossy compression. A bit disappointing.

Agreed.

Yes very disappointing. Hence i turned off Atmos and listen to highest available lossless version downloaded. The lossless downloaded quality is excellent.

They changed the quality setting category to "Wi-Fi and 5G Streaming" which is so dumb. I want hi-res at home and AAC when I'm using my data plan, duh

Not in Europe! I’m in the latest 15.0.2 and I can choose different quality for mobile, wifi and downloads

Same here in Australia (15.0.2).

That'll teach me not to update (no it won't)

 

[Sandwiches]

Nah, updating didn't help. This is on an iPhone 13 w/ 5G. Lumping 5G and Wi-Fi together is so dumb ugh.

Can you post a screenshot? Surely it can't be region specific?

North of the 49th. Just did the update on a 13 Pro Max. Same as earlier version, get to choose setting for wifi and cellular separately. The choices only show if cellular data for music is toggled on. Real long shot but could this be carrier related?

It's likely dependent on the specific iPhone model and cellular 5G support. Only the iPhone 12 and later have true 5G support, and that depends on the carrier.

If you go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Data Mode, and switch to "STANDARD" instead of "Allow More Data on 5G" the Audio Quality settings in Music separate Wi-Fi and Cellular Streaming

Any good mfi cable with lightning / usb-c and support for digital audio stream?
Gonna use this instead of a usb cable and camera adapter.

I've not found any with the MFI certification, many manufacturers are not willing to pay the Apple royalty (moon-audio has some colourful words about that!). Depending on your devices, you could try the quite reliable didihifi data cable. You should know though, some devices would only work with the camera adaptor, which is also currently the only option that offers charging while listening. Good luck!
