How to play lossless audio in Music on iPhone

by Tyler Stephen

Apple Music subscribers can access millions of tracks encoded using lossless audio compression, a form of compression that preserves all of the original data. Apple has developed its own lossless audio compression technology called Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC), and the entire Apple Music catalog is encoded using ALAC in resolutions ranging from 16-bit/44.1 kHz (CD Quality) up to 24-bit/192 kHz.

There are trade-offs, though. Streaming lossless audio consumes significantly more data, and downloading it uses significantly more space on your device. And Bluetooth® connections aren’t lossless.

What you need to know about lossless in Apple Music

  • Streaming lossless audio over a cellular or Wi-Fi network consumes significantly more data. And downloading lossless audio uses significantly more space on your device. Higher resolutions use more data than lower ones.
  • AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and Beats wireless headphones use Apple AAC Bluetooth Codec to ensure excellent audio quality. However, Bluetooth® connections aren’t lossless.
  • To get a lossless version of music that you already downloaded from Apple Music, just delete the music and redownload it from the Apple Music catalog.
  • To play songs at sample rates higher than 48 kHz on iPhone, you need an external digital-to-analog converter.

Note: Apple Music and lossless aren’t available in all countries or regions.

Turn on Lossless Audio and choose audio quality settings

For cellular streaming, Wi-Fi streaming, and downloads, you can choose audio quality settings.

  1. Open Settings, tap Apps, and then tap Music.
  2. Tap Audio Quality and tap Lossless Audio to turn it on or off.
  3. Choose the audio quality for streaming and downloading audio.
    • Choose Lossless for a maximum resolution of 24-bit/48 kHz.
    • Choose Hi-Res Lossless for a maximum resolution of 24-bit/192 kHz.

Note: Automix and Crossfade don’t work while Hi-Res Lossless is turned on. If you want Automix or Crossfade, select Lossless or another audio quality setting instead.

Streamed music’s audio quality depends on network conditions, song availability, and the capability of connected headphones or speakers.

Identify lossless music

The Lossless icon appears on album pages when the music is available in lossless audio. To see the Lossless icon for music on the Now Playing screen, go to Settings > Apps > Music > Audio Quality, then turn on Lossless Audio.

How to edit Portrait mode photos on iPhone

by Moses Johnson

In the Photos app, you can change and adjust the lighting effects, depth of field, and focus point of images you take in Portrait mode.

You can apply, change, or remove Portrait Lighting effects. Stage Light Mono is like Stage Light, but in classic black and white. Natural Light, for example, keeps the face in sharp focus against a blurred background, while Stage Light spotlights the face against a deep black background.

Adjust the background blur in Portrait mode photos

To adjust the level of background blur in your portraits, use the Depth Control slider.

The Edit screen in the Photos app with a portrait in the center. Below the photo is a slider to adjust the Depth Adjustment setting. Below the slider, from left to right, are the Style, Portrait, Adjust, Filters, Crop, and Clean Up buttons. The Portrait button is selected.

  1. Start the Photos app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap any Portrait mode photo to view it in full screen. Then tap the Edit button.
  3. Drag the Depth Control slider at the bottom of the screen to increase or decrease the background blur effect.

    A black dot marks the original depth value for the photo.

  4. Tap Done.

To undo edits after you save, open the photo, tap the Edit button, tap Revert, then tap Revert to Original.

Note: Live Photo effects aren’t available on a Live Photo taken in Photo mode while the portrait effect is applied. Tap Live when you want to view the Live Photo, or to apply a Live Photo effect without the portrait effect.

Change the Portrait Lighting effect

In portraits, you can apply the Portrait Lighting effects, change them, or remove them.

    • Studio Light: The face is brightly lit, and the photo has an overall clean look.
    • Contour Light: The face has dramatic shadows with highlights and lowlights.
    • Stage Light: The face is spotlit against a deep black background.
    • Stage Light Mono: The effect is like Stage Light, but the photo is in classic black and white.
    • High-Key Light Mono: The effect creates a grayscale subject on a white background.
  5. Drag the slider below the lighting effects left or right to adjust the intensity of the lighting effect.
  6. Tap Done.

To undo edits after you save, tap the Edit button, tap Revert, then tap Revert to Original.

Change the focus point of a portrait

On iPhone 13 or later, you can change the subject, or focus point, of a portrait. Select a new subject, and the background blur automatically adjusts so the new subject looks sharp and in focus. But make sure the new subject isn’t blurred or too far in the distance.

  1. Start the Photos app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap any Portrait mode photo to view it in full screen. Then tap the Edit button.
  3. Tap a new subject or focus point in the photo.
  4. Tap Done.

How to type braille directly on the iPhone screen with VoiceOver

by Abigail Shilets

With Braille Screen Input in VoiceOver, you can use your fingers to type braille directly on the iPhone screen, without a physical braille keyboard. You can also use Braille Screen Input to enter braille commands for navigating and controlling your iPhone.

You can use it in tabletop mode, with iPhone flat in front of you, or in screen away mode, with the screen facing away from you. Gestures let you enter a space, delete the previous character, move to a new line, or cycle through spelling suggestions.

Enter braille on the screen

  1. With VoiceOver turned on, do one of the following to start Braille Screen Input:

    • Use a gesture: Place one finger from each hand at the top and bottom edges of the screen and double-tap. If the gesture doesn’t work, open Settings, tap Accessibility, tap VoiceOver, and then tap Braille. Tap Braille Screen Input and turn on Use Activation Gestures.
    • Use the rotor: When you’re in a text input area, set the rotor to Braille Screen Input. If Braille Screen Input isn’t in the rotor, go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor. Tap Rotor Items, then select Braille Screen Input.
  2. Place iPhone in one of the following positions:

    • Tabletop mode: Lay iPhone flat in front of you.
    • Screen away mode: Hold iPhone in landscape orientation with the screen facing away from you. Your fingers wrap around the sides of iPhone to tap the screen.
  3. Enter braille characters by tapping the screen with one or more fingers at the same time.

    Tip: To hear where each dot is located, touch and hold, then drag your finger around the screen. To move the entry dots to match your natural finger positions, tap and lift your right three fingers all at once to position dots 4, 5, and 6, followed immediately by your left three fingers for dots 1, 2, and 3.

    You can also use gestures to perform actions such as the following:

    Action Gesture
    Enter a space Swipe right with one finger; in screen away mode, swipe to your right
    Delete the previous character Swipe left with one finger
    Move to a new line Swipe right with two fingers
    Cycle through spelling suggestions Swipe up or down with one finger
    Enter a carriage return, or send a message (in Messages) Swipe up with three fingers
    Cycle through modes (like Braille Entry Mode and Command Mode) Swipe left or right with three fingers
    Translate immediately (if you’re typing contracted braille) Swipe down with two fingers
    Switch to the next braille table Swipe up with two fingers
  4. To exit Braille Screen Input, slide two fingers in opposite directions, or do a two-finger scrub (draw the letter “z” by quickly moving two fingers back and forth three times).

Quick tip: To view and edit the commands and gestures you can perform with Braille Screen Input turned on, go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Commands > Braille Screen Input.

Type on the screen to enter braille commands

Braille Screen Input Command Mode lets you control iPhone by typing braille commands on the screen, using the same commands you’d use with a refreshable braille display.

  1. With VoiceOver turned on, place one finger from each hand at the top and bottom edges of the screen and double-tap to start Braille Screen Input.

    • Start Automatically when Editing Text: Have Braille Screen Input start automatically when you enter a text input area.
    • Keep Active until Dismissed: After you launch an app or choose an item in Braille Entry Mode, automatically switch to Command Mode and keep it active.
    • Customize Commands: Go to the command you want to customize and tap Assign New Braille Keys.
    • Learn Dot Positions: Have Braille Screen Input calibrate the positions of dots as you enter them. Reverse Dot Positions: For six-dot braille, swap the positions of dots 1 and 3, and dots 4 and 6.
    • Visual Text Feedback: As you type in braille, display a text translation of what you’re typing.
    • Typing Feedback: Get sound or haptic feedback as you enter text with Braille Screen Input.
    • Single Hand Mode Style: Choose one of the following options to type in Portrait orientation:
      • Right Hand or Left Hand: Type a column of dots and swipe right to enter an empty column. Double-tap to enter one braille cell. (Dots 1 and 4, dots 2 and 5, and dots 3 and 6 are oriented from left to right.) Right Hand is turned on by default.
      • Slate and Stylus: Your screen acts as a braille cell with 6 dots. (Dots 1, 2, and 3 are on the right side, and dots 4, 5, 6 are on the left side.)
      • Reversed Slated and Stylus: Your screen acts as a braille cell with 6 dots. (Dots 1, 2, and 3 are on the left side, and dots 4, 5, 6 are on the right side.)
