Apple Music’s primary rival Spotify announced an HD music streaming in February this year, though it is yet to formally launch it to consumers and announce its pricing. Amazon already an HD streaming tier for Amazon Music which is priced at $14.99/month.

Given that all of Apple Music’s competitors offer an HD music streaming tier, it is not surprising that Apple is also considering offering one. This is the first though that such rumors surrounding Apple Music’s Hi-Fi streaming tier have surfaced though.

As for the third-generation AirPods, it was heavily rumored to launch in March alongside the 2021 iPad Pro.
