At the WWDC 2021 conference in May, Apple announced Spatial Audio. It also made Lossless Audio and Dolby Atmos support available to all Apple Music members for free.

The sound position will shift whenever the user moves or tilts their head left or right; giving the impression that the sound is originating from a fixed location.
