iOS 15 and macOS Monterey Will Introduce Spatialize Stereo
Both iOS 15 and macOS Monterey should have a new feature called Spatialize Stereo, which will simulate a 3D soundscape for non-Dolby Atmos audio, changing how you hear audio.

Recently discovered by reddit, the new Spatialize Stereo option toggle in iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey will create virtual spatial audio for stereo audio mixes. This means that sounds will appear to originate from various locations and distances around the listener.

This is similar to Apple Music's spatial feature, which simulates a 3D soundscape for audio recorded with Dolby Atmos. What sets Spatialize Stereo apart is that it can create this simulated 3D audio specifically for non-Dolby music and video.
As reported by applier, the Spatialize Stereo option toggle can be found in the Control Center under volume controls. It also will require iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or macOS Monterey and a pair of either Air pod or Air pod Max. Spatialize Stereo has been confirmed to work with Spotify, videos in the Photo Library, and similar audio content, but apps that have their own players, like YouTube, are not currently compatible.

Upon learning about this undisclosed feature, hzfan wrote on reddit, "The only instance I’ve seen of something like this before was when watching non-Atmos content in the TV app with spatial audio on."
They went on to explain, "The greatest thing about this is that it supports EVERY audio track. Sure I’d pick Atmos Spatial Audio mixes over Spatialize Stereo every time, but for the moment there are only a dozen or so options for Atmos available on Apple Music, so this is such an amazing feature to have!"

Those interested in testing out the new Spatialize Stereo feature for themselves may have to wait a little longer. iOS 15 is currently in beta, available for developers, with a public beta planned for July. The public release of iOS 15 will not be until this fall.
During Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) on Monday, Apple announced a slew of new updates on everything from FaceTime to Messages to Notifications, all designed to make iOS 15 a game-changer.
Users will see so many different changes and updated, including spatial audio capabilities, voice isolation, a new grid view in FaceTime, a Portrait Mode in FaceTime, and the ability for Android and Windows users to finally participate in a FaceTime call by simply sharing a link with them.
Perhaps the biggest additions to FaceTime Apple announced at WWDC are Shareplay and Screen sharing. With Shareplay, users will be able to watch movies and other online content together during FaceTime calls. Apple said Shareplay would support popular streaming services like Hulu, Disney+, and more.
New messages updates include a new collage design with the photos others text you, as well as photo stacks that you can swipe through and tap to view.
One of the most important updates in Messages is a Shared With You feature that conveniently saves and pins articles, photos, and more into a separate Shared With You folder that you can look at or read at a time that’s better for you.
You can click on the content shared, and it will take you back to the conversation with the person who shared it with you, so you can pick back up on the conversation concerning what was shared.
The Shared With You feature is smart enough to keep the important photos or articles and leave everything else; it won’t save memes to the Shared With You folder. The feature will work in Safari, Apple Podcasts, Apple Music, and more.
Notifications are also getting an update in iOS 15, including a fresh new look with contact photos and larger icons for apps.
A new Notification Summary will deliver all the Notifications you may have missed over the course of a day at a time you choose, such as in the morning or at night, so you can catch up. The Notification Summary will be ordered by priority, with the most relevant notifications at the top.
However, notifications from people are not included in the summary, and you’ll still get those texts or calls notifications as they come in.
Apple is also prioritizing what you want to focus on throughout the day with a new focus users. The feature allows you to carve out time for your work, your personal life, sleep, etc., with a dedicated page on your home screen to help you focus on whatever it is you want to at the moment.
Depending on what your focus is, you can set on Do Not Disturb, and it will show up in your text messages with others that you’re not accepting texts or calls at this time, so they know you’re not purposely ignoring them.
Focus mode will also hide any apps that you don’t want to distract you, so you won’t be tempted to scroll Instagram if you’re on a deadline.
Users will see a new feature in iOS 15 called Live Text that will automatically identify and scan text in photographs. Using machine learning technology, your device will also be able to identify elements in photos, such as location or whether there’s a pet in an image.
A new photo feature called Memories will use machine learning to combine photos into relevant galleries or animations, even adding music from Apple Music to your memories from years past.
