These two lossless options will utilize the Apple Alac Codec; It is not clear whether the HIFI option will be divided in two plans or if there will be one package with a lossless streaming option. This will join the high-quality Apple Music and save data compressed audio options.
Previous leakage from 9to5mac found references to Dolby and Dolby Atmos for the iOS version of Apple Music, but 9To5Google noted that such references were lost from their stepbrings.
