Updates for Bluetooth Audio, Auto HDR, and the App Store?
Among the other rumoured changes is Bluetooth audio. The added support for the AAC codec will allow greater bandwidth for streaming between devices. The interface for Bluetooth connectivity will also get a much-needed update. Is Microsoft planning on mirroring Apple’s commitment to Spatial Audio in the new Windows OS? All will be revealed soon enough.
The addition of Xbox’s Automatic “High Dynamic Range” functionality would be a plus for older gaming environments. Auto HDR creates far more realistic lighting for a much smoother feel and experience. Another big advancement would be the update of the Microsoft App Store. The availability of almost every game and app you can think of should at least bring a smile to users looking forward to the potential Windows 11 release.
