That latency is why Apple’s been preparing to switch to UWB for wireless audio, which is one of the reasons they’ve shipped UWB on nearly all iPhones since the iPhone 11.
UWB audio latency will be far under 50ms for uncompressed/losslessly-compresssed audio.
- ksec 2y agoI remember reading UWB audio latency to be under 10ms which is bonkers consider you cant even get a pixel to print out on screen End to end under that time in most cases. Input Lag, OS Lag, GPU Frame Buffer and DisplayPort / HDMI Lag + Display Panel Lag. But that was quite some time again we still haven't seen any standard for UWB Audio. Meanwhile WiFi Audio is out already and seems to do better than most expected.
