WWDC kicks off early tomorrow morning at 1AM MYT and it seems that Apple have also planned a dedicated event for Apple Music’s upcoming spatial audio feature for after WWDC.

A video that according to MacRumours was uploaded to Apple Music as a teaser (the video has since been removed), seemingly announces that Apple will broadcast a special event called “Introducing Spatial Audio”. This event does not seem to appear on the WWDC schedule but is set for 3AM MYT.
Apple is set to unveil its annual updates to each operating system this year at WWDC so it is surprising that the spatial audio event would not happen at the same time. Later in the day, Apple will give its usual “State of the Union” presentation, which is more focused on developers than the opening keynote and addresses various technical aspects of the company’s platforms.
Apple announced spatial audio for Apple Music last month alongside the addition of lossless files to the streaming service. Spatial audio will work with AirPods, built-in speakers on Apple devices, and third-party headphones, and should provide more immersive Dolby Atmos mixes compared to regular stereo audio.
It is not a surprise that Apple will be announcing spatial audio tomorrow as the company stated that the feature will launch in June but it seems that the feature merits its own event.
