Last week, we explained here that AirPods Pro with USB-C charging case they were more than just a revised version of Apple’s headphones. To the surprise of many, the model also came with a feature that is not available in the version whose case has a Lightning input: the ability to listen to audio Lossless when combined with the coming Apple Vision Pro.

Well, regarding a week following this controversy, Apple finally commented on the matter. In an interview given to YouTuber Brian Tong, Apple’s vice president of discovery and connectivity, Ron Huangand the company’s director of product marketing, Eric Treskidetailed the differences between the two versions of the AirPods Pro.

According to the executives, the H2 chip in models with a USB-C port runs at a band speed of 5GHz, compared to just 2.4GHz for the H2 chip that is present in models with Lightning. This higher speed, according to them, is what makes the latest headphones capable of reproducing lossless audio content.

And so, Apple Vision Pro and AirPods Pro are now able to communicate at 5 gigahertz in addition to H2, which allows us to build a new audio protocol, but it’s also the cleaner airspace that allows us to do this […].

This compatibility, however, only applies to the Apple Vision Pro, as neither of the two AirPods Pro revisions are capable of lossless music playback on an iPhone, iPad or Mac. This also means that Lightning models will still be unable to play audio in very high quality, as it is not a software issue.

The AirPods Pro with USB-C charging case, it is worth noting, began shipping to the first consumers today, alongside the new iPhones. We, from MacMagazinewe have already published the unboxings of all colors of both the iPhones 15/15 Plus and the iPhones 15 Pro/15 Pro Max, as well as a test of the Action button on Apple’s professional smartphones.

The newcomer benefits from clear improvements regarding its screen. While the Vivoactive 4 was satisfied with a 1.3 inch LCD panel (260 x 260 pixels), the Vivoactive goes to 1.2 inch, in Oled technology, and with a superior definition (390 x 390 pixels). ). This panel is integrated into a lighter case (23 grams) thanks to the use of aluminum instead of the stainless steel of the Model 4, and smaller (42.2 x 42.2 x 11.1 mm, versus 45.1 x 45.1 x 12.8 mm). Overall, we see that Garmin has worked on the design of its watch so that it becomes more elegant and compact, by reducing the borders of its screen and softening its contours.

Garmin nevertheless equips the Vivoactive 5, waterproof to 5 ATM, with multiple sensors. GPS, pulse oximeter, heart rate sensor are of course on the menu, for sports monitoring that is a little less ambitious than with the other watches in its catalog. The Vivoactive 5 nevertheless promises a plethora of features dedicated to physical activities (30 types of indoor and outdoor sports are available from the watch), the measurement of the Body Battery specific to the brand or the indication of the recommended recovery times following the sessions. We also appreciate the addition of support for wheelchair activities. In terms of well-being, the Vivoactive 5 provides sleep monitoring, supplemented by a report available each time you wake up, but also offers functions such as meditation sessions. Added to all this is the receipt of notifications, access to offline playlists with services such as Spotify or Deezer, and payment via Garmin Pay.

The Vivoactive 5 gains in functionality, but also in autonomy, even if Garmin does not specify the exact capacity of its battery. The manufacturer promised 8 days of use with the Model 4, and now announces 11 days before having to charge its successor. We imagine that the ambient light sensor, now included, helps to improve its endurance.

Available in a single format, while the Vivoactive 4 was available in a more compact 4S version (40 mm screen instead of 45 mm), the Vivoactive 5 retains the price of its predecessor. So count on €299 for this city watch which can be connected to an Android smartphone or an iPhone, a Venu 3 being billed at €499.
